All I Want

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be . . .

~ Joni


All I want is Josh. Not the Josh of my dreams, not the Josh of my memory, not the Josh of my imagination, not the Josh of my prayer.


I want the flesh and blood Josh of my life. I want him to go to work or grad school, I want him to marry that beautiful girl and adopt those Vietnamese children, I want to watch my tall blond son teaching his dark-haired boys and girls how to play soccer on the beach.


Why is that too much to ask?

Sometimes, you just have to stamp your feet, shake your fist at the sky and scream....

Lisa, I had just been thinking that, for the first time in 25 months, the 24/7 screaming in my head was gone. I guess I just had a brief respite there.
