"...fragile but not broken... each wave of grief has chipped away at him... towards another room... he'll step through..."
Oh, Jon… – although I could see where this was leading, the last line still broke my heart. (My mum died of heartbreak after my dad died. They had been married over sixty years.)
This is so beautifully and sensitively written; and I wish I’d taken more photographs, too (although I have one good one that sort of compensates…). It is a truly great photograph: truly beautiful, even without the beautiful, sad, words.
Thank you for sharing. I am so sorry for your losses. They must hurt so grievously.
Thank you ❤️that means a lot. I’ve gone over the whole thing numerous times in my head. He just didn’t want to be without his soul mate. It sounds like you’ve been somewhere similar. I’m sorry for your loss. Love is such a powerful thing, isn’t it.
