The Mind F#*K

My friends husband dropped dead the other day.  Left her and her young daughter to fend for themselves.  He was a gentle and loving man,  loved "his girls" with all his heart.  My small town has rallied around them with outstretched arms, it is comforting to see, one of the things I love about where I live.  The memorial service was beautiful.  H. was also there.  I asked him if he wanted to sit together and he did.  During the service I kept looking at him (he wouldn't look at me though) and thinking about how fleeting this life is.  How I missed my family.  How silly this all was.  I felt like I wanted to hold him and my son close and never let go........

The mind F%^K strikes again.
