Damn You!
Before I write what I want to say today, I think it is important that the reader know how I am going to use strong words in this post. It is never my intention to offend anyone. However, there is only one word that can truly convey how I feel today. So for your understanding, I am including the definition of the word: Damn
1. To pronounce an adverse judgment upon.
2. To bring about the failure of; ruin.
3. To condemn as harmful, illegal, or immoral:
4. To condemn to everlasting punishment or a similar fate; doom.
To whom it may concern:
Damn you.
For every day I do not have with him, every hug I will miss, every inside joke that won’t be told…
Damn you.
For every tear I shed, and his brothers shed, and all of his family… For the lake of tears we shed daily.
Damn you.
For taking his future, all that he’d worked for, and throwing it away.
Damn you.
For the grandchildren I will never hold, the lonely chair at my family meals, for the empty Christmas stocking that will hang on my mantle.
Damn you.
For the security lights we’ve installed, the paranoia I feel when the boys don’t answer their phone right away, and the days I mark off my calendar since you took him.
Damn you!
For the therapy, the meds that keep me calm, and every night of insomnia.
Damn you!
For the prison you’ve created for me and my family while you walk freely.
I Damn you.
