Remembering Irene

Saturday, September 17, 2011

An orchid has bloomed.

The first one since Irene died.

Pretty memory!

The first BLT

of the season. How Irene

loved them so! Remembering

A new milestone past,

your birthday and you are gone.

Many emotions!

Six months, half a year -

it's a landmark I am told.

But my heart still aches.

The first tomato

ripened, and I ate wishing

I could have shared it.

Delicate Flower,

Irene would describe herself.

I miss your blossom.

Your new life began

five months ago today and

I try to find mine.
