The Lonely Chair

For: Line Gauthier

His resting place, an old, worn chair
Electric adjustments comprise
By night he had been sleeping there

Chair is empty since his demise
Except when our dog misses him
When empty, then I agonize

Thank you, Ann. I was in shock to begin with and then reality began to hit me. I know at this early stage that I have not absorbed all of it yet, but I know it is coming. Sara K

Thank you, Sara B. We went out as a family last night since I am not able to do much cleaning and cooking anymore and I treated them to a meal. Now they are free to celebrate Christmas with their families. Anyway, that is two of our family celebrations done for this year and each the first time since he passed so those were hard. It will start again in January though. Thank you for dropping by and the nice understanding review. Sara K
