i have been gone for quite some time. i have traded my pen over pencils drafting health assessment forms, nursing care plans, soapies, hospital charts and all those nursing whatevers.
it hurts not to write. but it hurts more when you refuse the call to write over reasons of 'i just cant'.
he broke the news this morning.
that he won't be around tomorrow. and perhaps, for the days ahead. i was from head to toe wishing he'd take his words back. but he,too, was from head to toe wishing he could. my heart just died. and i am running out of better reasons to wake up in the morning.
that's why i came running back to my pen.
wishing that even for the least chances, writing could stitch whatever is torn.
