God is Good
Today would have been
my parents' seventy-fifth anniversary.
As it was, they made it to fifty.
We always told them to go for the gold.
They did and then they died.
I miss them and often wish them alive.
But with what is going on around us,
Mom would have worried.
Dad would have been mad.
Now, my husband and I
are going for the gold.
I never thought it would be this hard.
In two days,
it will be the seventh anniversary
of his second pontine (brain stem) stroke.
Our marriage was a love/antilove story,
but we’ve always been able to agree
on one thing, “God is good.”
