After Parting






















Oh, I have sown my love so wide
That he will find it everywhere;
It will awake him in the night,
It will enfold him in the air.

-Sarah Teasdale

I love this poem that Josh's sister Julie mentioned.  It makes me feel a little better about sending him off to live alone in the freezing tundra... Knowing that I have surrounded him with my love, that he will truly find it everywhere, gives me peace.  I know that I see him everywhere. I see him in the red Honda Civic hatchback parked in the mall parking lot. I see him in the bumper sticker that reads "I can handle the truth".  I see him in my son, Jack, who today said to my little brother, "Dallas, you're a spaz!"  I see him everywhere.  I miss him everywhere. I love him everywhere.
