Effie and Frank Petersen 1930s
Effie was a friend/possibly cousin to my Paternal Grandmother Rosie Driscoll.
I have a chatty letter from Effie to Nanny (as I called my Grandmother) which is a glimpse into thier friendship. I will dig out a picture of Nanny one of these days and post it too.
My kids and I at around age 6
I was looking through some pictures today so thought I would share these of my kids and I at similar ages. Don't they both look like happy little kids? I don't look at pictures often since losing Kyle but today was one of those days. I should look at these pictures more often because they remind me what a happy kid he was... that gives me comfort. To remember the good times before he got depressed is very good for me because I hate thinking of him in pain though these days I can't seem to escape the thoughts.
In a pit
Have you ever been in a pit of despair?
It stinks both literally & figuratively
So badly as a matter of fact that tears
can run silently down ones face for days
Bringing on a dazed feeling of another color
Blue
Reaching out to those not there, who are unaware
Fearing the isolation and at the same time CRAving it
a Paradox of sorts
circles to run before I sleep
circles to run
alone
after all
there is
only
room
in the pit
