Just when I think the pain of 18 years has lessenedit crops up among tears and hugsand boundless lovea bridge that is always therebetween me and my familyRick Page had assured me countless times
to never let go
never give up hope
and above all remember to let your love shine through
so I hold my heart out
eyes half closed
half fearful of rejection
and then Noah sits on my lap
points to Fiddler crabs
and it is all okay again
I hug Alex close
like hugging a giant tree
feeling his warmth and love flow through us
like water for water
tomorrow dogs in tow
we will paddle board and kayak
splash water
tell scary shark stories
and feel the currents that twist and turn us all
in the end though
we will make it safely back to shore
stronger and more assured than ever before
