    That stuff runs very deep.

My sympathies. My wife lost her mom when she was 12 and I know from her that it cuts extremely deep. Keep the poems coming, you have an appreciative audience enjoying them.

When we lose a parent, our connection to the past is broken. When we lose a child, our connection to the future fades. We are nothing but ellipses, one focal point two steps ahead, the other two steps behind.
