Exceptional

Truly a heartfelt poem. Filled with love, sorrow, gladness and sadness. However you need to come to the pain to lessen it, is what counts. All the trauma in such a short time is enough to want to end your life that's filled with the loss of your loves, maybe even a bit of envy and bitterness mixed in with sorrow make it impossible to want to live. But time can heal the heart but your mind will never forget, you need to find the answer for the solution to lessen the pain. I know easier said than done. But "I think you have worked hard on coping and now it's time to feel free.

Thanks for your wonderful comments especially for Carolyn.
Because she suffered so, not just while we were married 20 years.
But her first marriage and then also when she was being raised by her mother.

I wonder how you can achieve all you're doing with this burden on your shoulders for so long. I think writing about your loss makes you feel better and the unwavering faith in our lord makes you stronger.
Blessings to you, Ricky

Your answer.
"Each and Every Day!"
By Doctor Ricky 1024


I know on April 14th it will be 20 years.
20 years I've been writing.
20 years of grieving.
20 years of grieving the loss of my wife and son.
And, somehow journaling seems to rebuild me.
Yes, from each and every word.
Yes, from each and every poem.
I've written hundreds of thousands.
Along with over 800 books.
...
I explained it as a candle that's turned into a raging forest fire
Yes that I can't even control.
I'm compelled from a powerful connection above
Ignited first from the loss of my son.
And, I just go with It.
Burn, burn, with it.
As I learn.
To learn.
To learn with it.
Each and Every Day!"

Thanks,
Doctor Ricky 1024
