Life attacks me

Life

attacks me roughly from behind

and in my frenzied mind

I fall wayward into a narrow channel

where I spin like a floating ball

fighting desperately to stay ahead of 

the closing-in waves behind me.

Strangely,

a sublime aura 

settles over my frenzy, but 
I have learned first hand 

that everything is fragile

and I can never return 

to my former 

robust 

Life

How Life Plays Tricks on Us

Our 29 year old son has had health issues since he was 13, when he was diagnosed with both Diabetes and Addison's disease (a rare chronic endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient steroid hormones). Diabetes is well known to most, the second one is less common. These two disorders work against each other and make them both complicated to manage.

On Saturday morning, 

our son was found dead in his flat 

by the home care nurse that checked up on him daily. 

He died from medical complications of his two disorders. 

We all know that life is fragile.

One small phone call, 

"we regret to inform you that your son is dead,"

and in those five seconds

everything is turned upside down.

We have known this could happen, 

but you can never be prepared for death,

and parents should never have to bury a child.

We are devastated.

Our son Geir Espen

born August 24, 1982

died July 14, 2012

He is free now, 

and may he rest in peace.

The spurned housewives

Wordle 64

The words to play with were:

ignorant spurn eternity drawers balls year

rind sting months housewives subtracting fall

* * * * *

Months passed before the spurned housewives finally emptied out their drawers and left. Ignorance had been their bliss for what seemed like an eternity, and only a year ago they had actually been happy. They had always considered themselves ballsy and thick-rinded, but now the feeling of having been subtracted from their men's life equations stung, like falling off a high horse. Who knew hearts could be so spiky?
