how did i get here?

my husband, my Dragon, died suddenly at 12:03 AM, 9 February 2009. it was a full moon. i "slept" for the following 10 months and "woke" to the physical pain and emotional torments of deep grief. i "woke" to discover i had moved immediately after his funeral and that my art had evolved. it has changed
changed because of his death as i am forever changed as well and will forever bear the mark of his passing.
i am no longer near my beloved ocean
.
there is alive and there is dead and there is a place in between. i am here wholly in my heart for my children. i feel empty inside at this time because i miss him so very much. no other man will do. i am crawling through my grief so i haven't gotten very far. i make no apologies for this.
this place, this blog, is where i write to allow some light into my "dark night of the soul."

November

it is November. i worked late last night, just me and the manager, getting the store set with all the marketing strategies and merchandize for the coming of Christmas.

Veteran's Weekend is coming. the man who was my husband's spotter has been dead now for almost 11 months. he had kept the stories alive for me, knowing how much i needed them. i find that staring at the closing of the year is maybe one of the reasons i am low. it has been so long since i had anyone to talk to that really knew that side of my Dragon, the Marine Force Recon side of him, the side that was his hero side. and with the death of someone i had leaned on so much for their stories, i realize i will never have any fresh retellings, any little tales i haven't yet heard, ever again.

so while i am still down, suffering the same thoughts and feelings i have been writing about, i have come to realize that redundancy is boring for everyone but the sufferer so with that in mind.............





whose the pretty turkey?
creativity keeps me going. it is my own solitary grief therapy.

i love you, Dragon. i miss you.

I miss the comments from Brick--I think that is who you were writing about. He was a real connection to Dragon--wish I could have heard more of "their" adventures.

We come here because we care about you, so if the message rings of redundancy, we will share in that with you. Hang in there my friend.
