In their absence,
I miss my family with all my heart,
Terror wracks me at the thought of disaster,
I am paranoid and terrible,
Icy until my feelings drip down my cheeks,
Another Valentine’s day across an ocean,
Traditions left patiently in the past,
Valentine’s day empty,
My heart full.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Missing people who are an ocean away is difficult. Beautiful poem. Somewhat sad however. Nicely Done!!!
