i have noticed
that when i am open
and share
my story out in public
somewhere anywhere
the first thing people say
“i lost my Dad a few months ago”
or “i just lost my Mom to cancer last year”
or something like that
it doesn’t make me sad
i opened a door
for them to talk
and hopefully walk
through the grief and sadness
out the other side
to peace of mind
Love,
Brenda
