I can't help but think about running away. Away from the problems, away from the fights, away from stress. I constantly wonder how I could possibly fix the wounds right in front of me.  I don't have enough band-aids, or knee braces, or aspirin, to cover up the cuts, to ease the aches, to take away the pain. Nothing I can find can fix the damage inflicted on you, on me, on us.  This one is just too big of a problem  for my words and hugs to solve. My mind spins trying to comprehend  everything unimaginable to me.  I can't help but think about running away because it could all be easier that way. No tension, no stress, no untied knots. But cutting away the loose strings won't mend the broken scarf.  I can't help but think about running away. I put on my running shoes, take my inhaler, take a step outside.  I can't do it. It seems too cowardly a move. 

For Joanne

Kindly, sprightly, blows the wind, To signal changes of time, And allow the day to pass As beautiful as your heart. For the winds are as warm As your gentle care, And your humbling smile, And your welcoming spirit. Your family remains; Healing and missing you, As heaven welcomes an angel, We celebrate your life.
