the physical absence
ms
brings an empty ache
missing you already
a gravesite gathering
family saying goodbye
hugs, tears, prayers
taken for granted
moments with you
yearning for more
Yearning

Both of my parents have been gone over 30 years, but I still imagine conversations that I might or should have had with them. The tears come less often now but the ache remains.

Thank you for sharing, Tom! I like to believe I can still have some form of conversation with them in a new way. Maybe that is no more than some thought or memory.
