So quietly that I almost didn’t notice, something died today.
I have gotten so used to it being around that I never really questioned it…it was comfortable, it was there…since the very beginning it has always been there. And then, today it wasn’t.
It is like the “I love you” tagged on as a closing cliche’ in a phone conversation that is said without thinking, without questioning…you don’t notice it in every day life, but suddenly – it’s absence is the loudest silence you’ve ever heard and you’re left wondering…where did it go? Will it ever come back?
I thought I’d misunderstood at first. I guess I’m still hoping that is all it is. Maybe it isn’t that it has died…maybe it is simply somewhere else…resting.
