Goodbye

Truth is.....Time does not heal all wounds. Saying goodbye is not easy and losing someone leaves a pain inside that never goes away. I've lost two brothers and when I hear time heals all wounds I just smile and nod. But time does not heal wounds that run through the heart. Nothing mends that hurt. Sure I've moved on and I have laughed and lived but every once and a while that twinge is felt. When an event that I want to share with my brothers comes up I feel it. Ever so often I break and cry like a baby. This is my new normal. I want them back, I want to talk with them, hug them, laugh with them. I can't. I will never be okay with that. So when you are faced with the loss of someone or you are in the company of someone who has lost someone it's okay to know time will not heal the wounds. Feeling the pain is part of the love you feel for them. The love that you want to express to them. You will survive. Life will go on. You will have a pain in your heart where the hole is. It's okay.
