How is it possible that one can hurt so much for that which has never been seen?
Why can an existance of miniscule proportions create such a huge hole in the fabric of my life?
Am I simply mourning a dream?
Will I always be haunted by the fears that my tired brain cannot censor away?
Will life ever be as it was?
Would I have given this up if it meant not knowing this pain?
To the last one, at least, I have an answer: No.
Ontology - a branch of metaphysics concerned with the nature of being - Merriam Webster. This is not a philosophical platform - it is simply me trying to consciously be. "For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). Therefore, "...train yourself to be godly...[for] godliness has value for all things…for both the present life and the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:7b-8). And therefore, I study ontology.

Sweetie, sending you hugs and love. Okay, BIG hugs and BIG love!
I think we will always think back on tragedies that happen to us, but eventually, we get to a place where we don't think about them all the time. Its ok not to be there yet.
Love. Prayers.
I love you sis.
Not that this answers any questions, but since you like Pooh, and this is true, here you go.
