hi eric,

what I always appreciate about you (and why I read your blog) is your honesty. Sharing poetry is hard because it's so personal, and I admire your courage to put your feelings (about something really serious, and heartbreaking) out there. Having been there myself, I'd like to suggest that you keep writing- it really helps put it all in perspective and eases a lot of the "mental clutter". As difficult as things are in the moment, they really do sort themselves out in time...and in response to your question, yes... life is strange.
