DIGGING- Week 1 of Brigits Flame

[wierdauntie]

I am leafing through the wedding cards, feeling vulnerable, as if she will stick her head around the corner and catch me. I waffle between an elegant minimalist card, cream stock  embossed  with the shape of a wedding dress that says inside,

“Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness…”

and something more lush, with transparent inserts and raised

This is so beautiful and it pierces straight to my heart. I'm one of 7 kids and there are a couple of my siblings I NEVER get it right with, EVER. And it's true, that's all I have ever wished for them, a life of love and happiness.

Such a simple story but it's sitting here, making me cry because I, too, want them to know that so bad.

This story is beautiful: strong and real.

Is it true?

I'm crying all over my keys, I better go.

Thanks for sharing this.

Autobiographical again...

[wierdauntie]

This is, unfortunately, true.
The card went into the mail today. An ocean of tears floating it out to her.

All my eloquence and I can never say the right thing to her. It's excruciating. That's life. But at least I have this little bit, my truth, and it is witnessed by my writing community. Thank you for sharing your feelings with me, it feels better to know I'm not alone.

Mom... I'm sorry, this is so sad... I wish you weren't having to go through this. *hug* Simple and beautiful writing.

[wierdauntie]

Thank you baby. I miss you SO MUCH!

I see from your comments that this is a snippet from your real life. I'm sorry that you've had to experience this but your feelings really shine in your words. There's not embellished, flowery language; it's simple and clear and honest. It cuts right through. A lovely, if sad, read.

[wierdauntie]

Thanks so much and great to have you in the community!

I thought a lot about your comment and I wish for you a healing as well. *Blown kiss*
