Hard

October 1, 2008 — by Jacqueline

On this crisp fall morning, a teacher from my high school passed from terminal cancer.

She is a mother of three. I say is, not was, because she is still those children’s mother. She brought life to this world.

Who comes, goes, or stays (and when) is still illogical to me.

Life appears to be this continuum of painful, yet joyful, coming and going.

[May the stars shine for you.]
