Managing the Sadness

Today I ache. I ache for a friend in crisis, to hear her voice, to take away her pain. I am sad and helpless living my life while yours has taken a detour. I ache for the boys longing for a simple hug, the husband for just one kiss, the family and friends for just one glance.Where are you now? What are you thinking and feeling and when will you come back and smile, laugh, be your fun and wise self. So accepting, a lover of life, friends, food and fun. When I think of managing the sadness I think of you; you are the one I would turn to for advice. You are the one that makes me feel happy, normal, accepted, free. You are bound by tubes and darkness; a stifled voice among internal chaos.
