My heart hurts

There are times we have to make the hard decisions; those decisions that break our heart.

I’m struggling with such a decision this very day and I know the answer — I know the way forward — but still I’m procrastinating in making that final decision.

What is this decision that’s so hard, you ask?

It’s the painful decision to cut ties with my son; to cut ties for good, because whenever we communicate or spend time in each other’s company, we clash.

To the point that it’s just too painful to continue.

Hence the devastating decision that needs to be made.

Drabble Drop word of the day ‘clash’.

Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :

A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author’s ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

Thank you for reading.
