Wow!!!! Ricky you really went in and dug deep and what came out words cannot describe. I am just sitting here looking at my screen at what I just read. Each word captivates and grips me to read more. Wow Ricky I am flabbergasted to the point of Awe!!!!!!!!!! This piece has a certain ora to it that pulls me right into EVERY WORD. There was a time that you did not want to live and I'm sure that after your son's death and then your wife's death you welcomed it. And although it is almost 15 years ago I'm sure there are moments that it seems like yesterday or even this morning. I felt your grief and the pain in the grief from the loss of your son and wife. And although I nearly lost my son which words cannot describe. He died four times and the 4th time he was dead for 45 minutes and now he has developed PTSD. Sometimes I don't know who he is because he does not relate to me the way he did before this happened, but God had to minister to me to appreciate the part of him that I do have because he as well could have died, so I'm grateful! I know somewhat of what you're going through. No parent ever wants to bury their child even if you have a thousand, the loss of 1 is so devastating. And to turn around shortly and lose your wife as well. I know You felt like dieing and in some cases did resort to take your life but in the end God wouldn't let you die mainly because you have so much to share and what you're sharing will help someone else. After God kept you here, you showed gratitude to God for keeping you alive just to share whats bundled up inside your spirit. BUT all and all this writing is so captivating. Its a product of your pain put into words that CANNOT be duplicated in the format in which your mind dictated to your hands to write. God bless you Ricky and continue to keep you. Your new found friend "Holla!" I'm sorry if I ask you and previous write ups to review my last piece ask your dad I just was not aware of this phase of your life please forgive me on that part I don't want to rekindle any bad memories God bless you again

Alex. I had to take a break between reviewing this and doing this because I am so heartbroken and still weeping. I am so sorry for your sorrow but I can honestly say that I am so grateful to have been touched by your story. I think you were saved for several reasons but one of them is definitely to touch hearts like you did with me. I will keep you in my thoughts, Alex. Take care. I am sorry for the betrayal you must feel that your wife did not choose to live for you. Thank you for sharing. I gave you six stars because this moved me so much

Comment from karenina
Such a poem of emotional turbulence. It is difficult to find the point of life when the centers of our universe have been ripped from us unexpectedly and much too soon. It takes time to regain our footing in faith. God watches over us in these dark chasms and pulls us from the jaws of death even when we rage against life...
If HE in HIS wisdom knows there is a greater plan for you. Believe in this tenet--
Your life is a gift form God, you honor HIM by living it well.

This speaks reflections in a poet's mind, his only son Jason died in 2003, and then wife died, he raised question to God whither life, thereafter God continues saving life; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR
