I Stood In The Rain

The other day, I went outside seeking a connection to the those now gone.

Specifically, I was looking for the one we loved, the one we call, John.

I did tell one friend and former colleague, that I wished I could just call an impromptu meeting in my office and have all of us there one more time, together, bringing all that each of us represents into that room, to see each other as we are, and enjoy some funny story, or laugh at ourselves as we often did.

I felt she’d always be there, prepared, as long as she was able.
