Love Outside the Lines

Love Outside the Lines, acrylic on canvas, 8" x 10"

They Visit

Sometimes I wake up from a dream expecting my mother to be asleep in the next room. The feeling is fleeting and usually followed by a brief sadness, like the period at the end of a sentence. Sometimes I wake up to complete clarity, well aware that she is no longer with us and that she hasn't been since New Year's Eve 1999.
On occasion, when I wake up from a dream in which she looked ill, the feeling that accompanies the realization that she is no longer living is relief. It is a strange thing, feeling relieved that a loved one is no longer within reach. That you will never again feel the safety of their embrace or hear their voice call out your name.
In most dreams, she is vibrant and healthy and beautiful.  She is at her prime. These are the dreams that fool with your sense of time. They're the ones you try to fall back into, but never can.
I'd like to think that she visits me. I know how that sounds, especially from someone who rejects most aspects of religion and other-worldliness. Maybe is her energy. Maybe it's self preservation and good old wishful thinking, but I can't seem to shake the feeling that when loved ones depart, they aren't forever gone. They visit.

The Luckiest Guy on Earth

That's me!
Today Ron and I celebrate our 14th Anniversary and enter our 15th year of crazy union. Every day is an adventure and filled with laughter (even the tough ones) and I thank the Universe/gods/goddesses/Cher (whatever forces are making this planet go round) that our paths crossed.



I can't imagine life without him.

Happy Valentine's Day

Ron,

After all these years, you still fill my world with excitement and laughter.
I can not imagine this life without you.
Happy Valentine's Day, my love.



Much love and a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!
