His life-filled wife
grew ill...then died.
His despair was immense...
impossibly incurable
as despair claims to be.
We shared the pain
of his struggle
to live beyond her death.
The in my new season mail
a note:
"My life has been a whirlwind
this past year.
Just a year ago
my wife was dying.
Today I not only have my own
26-year-old daughter
and 24-year-old son...
but now I have
a new wife
and new son and new daughter
and a new life
to love as much as the old."
"When some tells me
they have life figured out
my response is:
'Hang on...
You've just begun the ride!'"
