I have been fighting a battle lately with my tears.
They seem to want to leak out at the strangest of moments.
I am tired of battling with my tears.
Surely they must be bored by now.
Filling up my eyes.
Running down my cheeks.
Being wiped away by my hands or a tissue.
Always at inconvenient times.
Don't they have better things to do?
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
Great poem. I cry when I get really angry... very inconvenient.
ReplyDeleteMe to sister..me too.
ReplyDeleteI'm all over the place with my emotions and yet as of late I thought I had it together....so wrong.
Hugs for you-

Perhaps your tears are saying "Get me some allergy medicine! It is hay fever time!" Just a suggestion. : )

I can really identify with this poem. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is sadly sweet...
ReplyDeleteI lose it all to tears at times as well; try to think that, maybe, those tears are necessary to wash away the hurt and make way for happier moments.

Could you have a talk with my eyes as well? They seem to have a similar problem.
ReplyDeleteI cry at the drop of the hat, and my husband would say that I drop the hat so that I can cry. Crying seems to be in my daily routine. If it's not one thing, it's something else that brings my eyes to tears.
ReplyDeletethey are horribly inconvenient aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the tears never seem like they are going to stop
Ahh, how I feel this way so much.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
