It's sad that after so many years, so many milestones, so many things overcome, it ends up in this. Where the people who once toiled and built are no longer around, but only look from the outside. They look with pangs of regret, perhaps? And every time they turn the wound opens and fresh hurt arises.
It is a brokenness, that has not been healed.
On another note, I can't believe it. My holiday schedule is packed all the way till the next year.
