Writers write

For themselves, for you

For us all.

For the dogs,

Loved ones, lost ones, ones just found,

Everyone, always.

Her loss shattered me — and I didn’t know the people involved.

However, I did know how her loss made her feel. Knowing her, reading her halting words, brought me to a dark place that I know all too well.

I clamber out, having put a sturdy ladder in place for just such a time. Plants are watered, chores tended. Dog fed and belly rubbed.

There is writing to be done today. Much, much writing — and a new course to be started.

Through it all, every word, every musing wonder, I’ll honor her loss, her struggles, her bruised heart. That’s what readers do — and writers do with what they read.

For our beloved T — we are here for you, for always.
