Tides of Life

Waves of sadness rise and fall with each reminder of Kristy and Matt’s demise. Every news article, blog post, forum comment builds momentum, intensity, higher and higher until it crests…the wave rolls relentlessly. You don’t always see it coming. Then the offhand innocent question from others….hey did you know those cyclists that died…powers it over the tipping point and it crashes over your head. Pulling you under, taking breath away, fighting for air, thinking if I could just get to the surface maybe I can answer. Words fail, tears roll.
