So Sad, Mama

SO SAD, MAMA I dreamt of you last night, the very first time since you passed away. Woke up this morning wondering, was it because I was following up on your headstone yesterday, asking for an update? Been almost six months since you passed on and I still have not shed a tear. How I wish I could cry, let tears run down. Maybe, tears would wash away the sadness, hurt, pain that our estrangement caused; a weak, frail, fragile bond. Never nurtured, never strengthened at all. You gave me to your sister when I was one; but only knew after you passed on that you never told Papa until I was gone and it broke his heart. So sad, Mama! 7/13/21 Writing Prompt - Fragmented Spaces Poetry Constance La France Used: PS Grammar Check

Congratulations on your win. WOW!!! What an amazing story/write. Life is filled with hurt and heart break. So Very Sorry. Sometimes one cannot cry and that is OK. I have learned one cannot change the past. May you find peace. Today, be blessed....................

Thanks so much, Paula. Yes, we just have to accept what we cannot change, no matter how heart breaking. I had so many of them, this is just one. I am so grateful for His presence in my life that kept me going through the life path He laid for me.
