Wishes



Almost all of the time now, 

in this 1 year and 11th month of widowhood 

and being my kids' ONLY parent,

I am perfectly fine.

Remembering but not always reliving.

Honoring my past but not hovering in it.

And in the last month, I've reached a new level of fine.

One I like.

One I vaguely recognize from a long time ago.

And it's been nice,

very nice.

But there are still some times I wish I could go back to the way it was

when my largest concern of the day might be

getting the church bulletin done.
