…A long time comin…

…It’s been a long time runnin, its been a long time comin…it’s well worth the wait… - Gord Downie, The Hip I’ve stepped away from the blogosphere for awhile, gentle reader.  Your patience is always appreciated and to be fair and honest, I don’t know that my work would have been any good.  Discordant would be my best word association.  Sometimes life just kicks you right in the mind.  And heart.  Repeatedly…  Moxie passing last October was really tough for me.  I had that dog the entirety of living in my home.  She was as much a part of the history there as anyone else.  I bought that house to get a dog, so yeah, I bought a $170,000 dog.  … Worth every god damn penny.  I’d give all that up in a heart beat for just one more day with that goofy old girl.  I miss her dearly, even now…. especially now.

What hurts the most.

Rascal Flatts has been an odd banner bearer for me these past years. Out of the blue now and then, a song pops up that really impacts...and oddly... its by Rascal, and its regarding my situation at the time. I had a painful conversation with a friend in my car while this song played in the background.. and I realized how badly I was in pain.. my pain was laid bare and it was there playing... and dammit.. the flood of emotion came like a tidal wave.... Its a great song, and it brings me back to that sharp pain of the other night. Rascal..... always there .... for years now.... go figure. What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house That don’t bother me I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while Even though going on with you gone still upsets me There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok But that’s not what gets me What hurts the most Was being so close And having s...
