Have you ever sat in one place and watched it get dark?
By that I mean have you sat alone in one place without moving or speaking, staring at a boat or a building or a stadium across the water while the shadows deepen and swell up into the sky until everything turns blue-black?
A chill breeze across the river sets me shivering.
I wonder where my girls are now, whether they are still at the airport or on their way to their new house, a home I will never be part of, our lives now unshared.
Strangers.
Powerful.
Dear J Hardy,
Heartfelt and poignant. Great piece of writing.
Shalom,
Rochelle
That captures the mood of change and separation perfectly
Intrigue and sadness, a powerful piece of writing.
Poignant story.
Captures the emotions well.
nice story
Poignant, raw… and sad. You captured these things perfectly with just a few words. Well done! :D
How utterly sad. You created an emotional picture. I loved the line ‘our lives unshared’.
Sad and powerful. Separation with children involved is so often a heartbreak.
Sets a bleak, dark mood for a heart wrenching, heartbreaking event. Well done.
Well written and powerful.
Your writing is pretty meaningful to me right now. I have been mentoring a group of girls for the past 3 years. Now that group is depleting due to their marriages.
You mirror my state of mind!
