Another one about my mom and how hard it is to be away from her everyday when It shouldn't be this way

Its been so long. Too long. 

Its amazing how 2 1/2 months can seem like an eternity. 

I wish I could say I feel old enough to deal with it, but I Honestly
don't. 

I wish I could say this is how I want it to be, but its not. 

Not at all. 

If I had things my way , you'd be here with me. 

All the time. 

When I wake up. When I get home. 24/7 

Just like when I was a small child, I wish you were here for every
event. 

Every pain. Every laugh. Every tear. 

I wish you were available at any time for a hug, or a shoulder to cry
on. 

Even just for reassuring words. 

No one fulfills these wants quite like you. 

It makes me wish I'd enjoyed the small things more when I had you all
the time: 

Watching TV with you on the couch or helping you cook dinner. 

And all the things you asked me too do with you, that I didn't, I now
wish I had. 

Just to have that one short memory to think about, 

Especially on days like this. 

When there seems to be no end to the agony, and the sadness of this
situation just consumes every bit of me. 

Like a creature that knows your deepest fears- it knows my pain. 

As well as the back of its hand. 

I can't seem to escape it or leave it behind. 

It always follows me....where ever I go, its right behind me. 

Staring me down, like im its prey. 

Just to overwhelm me, tear me apart and leave me, 

till the next time your here, to ward off the monsters.... 

Just like when I was a young child.
