Shocking waves of emotion
Instant death or maybe it loitered long
Legacy not spoken of, nor memories
Everyone acting like nothing happened
No flowers brought or condolences cards
Coldness and eyebrows cocked askance
Exhaling; it was the death of my marriage.

Prayers for Her (Pt. 34)
Lord, Here I am again. Thank you for not growing tired of me. Bless my little girl with a cloak of light and grace. Fill her with your strength and love. May she find you, as she draws near to you. Open her eyes to see in the spiritual realm. Surround her with your angels. Surround her with Godly people. Help her to hunger and thirst for righteousness. Protect her mind. May the truth ignite in her soul so that she is warm and on fire for revival and proclaiming the good news. Help me to be the best father I can be for her.

Oof, that one hits like a silent earthquake! Sometimes, the best thing about an ending is the fresh start waiting just beyond it.✨
That last line brought it all together to deliver a jolt. And sorry, if this is your reality.
So sorry for your pain and the loss .. ☹️
