Is it really over?

Is it really over? That which I longed for and dreaded has come and gone already in a whirlwind? Where has the time gone?

April 23rd was so long ago now, six weeks past. So much emotion and reflection have come and gone, come again, and gone again, wave after wave. Tears, sighs, calm, relief, sadness, peace, sorrow, comfort…

May 15th spun in and out of the picture, too, the thrill of reunion, bursts of joy, anger, delight, release, remembrance, healing, restoration, but ending too soon as always. Parting yet again, homeward to burdens of life beyond these borders. God have mercy! He does. We pray, and He does.

My favorite month slips away, and June is nigh upon us. In God we trust, we hope, we live. Amen.

I teach adult education, including high school equivalency test prep, adult basic education, and Work Ready for Corrections, a workplace readiness course at a correctional facility. I am married with two sons in high school. I have a dry sense of humor and try not to take myself more seriously than necessary.
