distance...

I decided today.... that I need to let my heart breath...

I've taken all I can.... my heart can't take it anymore...

Seeing him like this just destroys all the beautiful images of him I have inside...

I've stood strong, and patient, and have done all I can...

Now... I have to let him be... the nurses that care for him do it well, and I just can't care for him anymore... I will go in and kiss his hand ever so gently now and then... but can't overstay my welcome, he wants to go... I can't have him anymore... I have to let go...

I have an ache, that wont go away... not for a long time....

with a heavy heart....

peace

  1. I had a comment all ready to post and then I lost it. I generally trust when things like that happen. So, rather than try to recreate what I had written, I will just tell you that I know what you are facing, and I am so sorry. How I wish you could just turn to another direction and face a different story with a very different ending.

    You know that we are lifting you and Gag in prayer, and I hope that you can find some comfort in that.

  3. I'm so sorry my love...these are dark days, I have been there. It's very hard to see someone so vibrant reduced to a shadow of their former glory. With time, you will forget these unbearable images...they are just a tiny fraction of a life well lived, and lived with passion and energy. This is the time to make your peace with yourself, and prepare for what is coming as best you can.

    You are in my prayers. xxx

  5. After my Grandmother died, I found this amazing greeting card, it had this quote on it....I read it periodically to remind me that my beloved Grandmother is with me always:

    "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."

    Gag will always be with you, his spirit will permeate your heart and your life....his memory will only shine - reminding you of the 'living' Gag instead of the hurting Gag.

    You and your family are in my prayers.

  7. My heart is racing and I can't believe this is happening. You guys are constantly in my thoughts. Gagik was very fortunate to have you to love him and care for him the way you have. He will always be with you and the boys looking down on his trio with love and pride. His spirit will live in all of you. My love and prayers go out to you. (Gayan)

  9. Marinik, I hope that you can feel this circle of people around you. Imagine all of us in this blog world, all holding hands to create an emotional net to enfold you, or support you, or let you breathe.

  10. I had no words of comfort to offer, so I walked to the garden and prayed. This came. I hope it is comforting.

    Psalm 23:4

    Even though I walk
    through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
