Tear stained....

her face grew longer as he talked... the corner of her eye
twitched and her lip began to tremble a little... i could
feel a little ball of dread spring into existence....

she hung up the phone and gave me a forced smile..... as
she turned away from me she broke down into tears... very
quietly letting the tears stream down her face..... i
cupped her cheek with my hand and brushed the tears from
her eyes... she shakes off my comfort and buries her face
in the chair.... as i look on helplessly, her sobs get more
violent... i grip her hand and stroke the back of her
neck....

i cannot help feeling useless.... all i wanted to do was
pull her to me and hold her head to my shoulder... but she
would not have my sympathy, she must be strong, she must
not show that she needs me.... i understand, i usually try
to keep things to myself.... but i always feel better when
i can lean on someone....

no matter how little i can do to help.... i would have her
know that i'm here if she needs me.... if she needs someone
to talk to... if she needs someone to cry on.... i'll be
there....


on another matter..... may our fondest wishes and most
heartfelt prayers go out to a wonderful woman who has
recently undergone surgery.... our thoughts are with her.


Every day is another toss of the dice.
