I saw the photo for today’s fiction prompt hosted by Teresa, aka The Haunted Wordsmith, and my thoughts became wrapped up in non-fiction real stuff:

Did you know…that it has been 24 weeks and 1 day (that’s 5 months and 18 days) since my last night with Goldfinch? Now that does not really mean anything to anyone else. Yet I have been thinking about my loss. I would have surely found a 23 hour trip to Australia very uncomfortable. But it would have been quite mission.
I am so glad I will be with Goldfinch again. I am aching for comfort from him. Everyone who knows has been wonderful, but it’s only him I really want to be able to shed a few tears with and receive his warm embrace.
Aaaah – it’s an odd thought. When I first asked Goldfinch if I could visit him this summer, I was thinking that it might be my last chance to travel for a long time. I felt it was very important to see him before my life changed. I won’t dwell on what might have been. I shall look forward to being with Goldfinch and wrapped up in his arms. That’s all that seems to matter right now.
I need to go to sleep. Long day at work tomorrow. Goodnight 🙂
So happy for you and Goldfinch and I love the song you chose. It’s almost time ❤

Thank you so much Li 🙂
I have been seeing babies and pregnant women a lot recently, and it reminds me of what might have been.
But I am trying to focus on what is ahead and not what is behind.
Time is going soooooooooooooo slowly!

I meant to ask you…how is the sleeping going now? With the bed change? Is your son finding it easier to sleep? And you? Are you getting enough sleep?

Still trying. Both surviving on maybe 2 or 3 hours interrupted sleep. Better than no sleep.
