Heartbreak

A dear, sweet, troubled friend is missing.

My heart aches.

Bright, shining, beautiful and broken she is.

It might be too late.

But she knew Jesus.

Two gorgeous kids.

Missing their mom, no doubt.

Their hearts had steeled a bit, never knowing exactly what was going to happen.

Doesn't take away from their pain.

It's in my throat.

The pain goes down from there.

Alcoholism is impossible to fathom.

Unless you have it.

It wraps itself around you like a viper.

Do vipers wrap?

Maybe pythons are better metaphors.

But she knew Jesus.

If she's gone, she's with Him.

If she's still here, He's with her.

The pain is lifting.

Maybe now I can go to sleep.

Maybe now I can cry.

Maybe now the pain will lessen.

Just enough.
