Ruthie Lou Sunset

We watched the sun set together more nights than not at GMCH. The world spun, the sun set, the moon took it's place in the sky as my world stopped, a time out of time. I held her, rocking in that wooden chair, holding what I no longer am able to, knowing our time was borrowed and soaking in as much as I could.

My daughter, my love, on nights like tonight when the crimson reds meet the purple skyline, I think of you while watching a "Ruthie Lou sunset". That is where we meet, when the worlds collide and the veil is thin. I know you're with me still. I ask you to come close and I feel you. Some may think I am crazy, a mama missing her daughter so much, I know otherwise. I am lucky, to have known you, to have held you, to forever be gifted with your love and to live for you. Because you are no longer in this world, I will live for the both of us. I will love the life I live more than I would have otherwise.

Thank you, sweet girl.
