A Little Bit Softer Now

I don’t know if it’s the sadness I feel for Mama J.’s death or just the sheer exhaustion I’m feeling right now, but everything seems so loud. People are talking too loud, the radio is too loud in the car, and all I’m craving is peace. A few minutes of solitude, where no one is making a sound, no one is talking to me, and I don’t have to talk to anyone else. Just quiet. And my thoughts. And gentle music.



I’m out of words right now. Perhaps, because I don’t want them cluttering my mind.

I understand the loud thing. Sometimes I actually think how nice it would be to take a vow of silence and go away to a silent place for a while.

I keep thinking Papa . My hubz and I are senior citizens and - you will think I am crazy and I prolly am - but we actually prayed the other night that the Lord would let us die within months of each other whenever out time comes. We have no children - not by choice - and 40 years together. It's just me and him -- we are together all the time. My heart is heavy for all of you but esp Papa. We have had two couples of my mother's generation die this past year in their 80s...both within months of each other . And that's what I pray God grants us. Praying for you girl!! Your family has been through rough , rough times and you always keep it goin'! Admire you!
