Prayers For Melissa

Entry 22: Not My Own Words

I don’t have any words of my own today. Nor have I had many to share these past several days. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about Momma every day since the last time I had the words to convey my thoughts. The time has escaped me. It’s March now. I’m so swamped. I have less than a week until the 10 year anniversary of her death. I’m…I’m not ready. I’ll be too focused on preparing for qualifying for quizzing, too preoccupied studying for school, too busy memorizing 70 stupid digits of pi for Precal. I don’t know if I can do it all.

But I’m not alone in this grief. Amidst all the busyness, I came across the posted poem above…
I don’t have much to say about it. But my dear sister’s beautiful words resonate deeply with my own outbursts and sorrows for the loss of our Momma. I can’t wait to see her in a week. I just hope I’m not too focused on other things to cherish her presence in this hard time. Please be praying for me this week ❤️
