5 months on


Five months ago today... and I still often find myself in a daze 
of incomprehension as I think about our last six months with Ben. 
How could those first inklings of bad news turn so quickly 
to missed classes, radiotherapy, hospital visits, grave concerns, 
chemotherapy, severe pain and morphine drips, intensive care, 
coma and a funeral? 

I don't know. It feels like a dream at times. Is he really gone? 
And as I ask myself,  I know it's true. 
The shock hits again and the tears return.
