This post was written for the Trifextra weekend Challenge:
This weekend, we are revisiting a prompt we’ve done before. We are giving you three words and asking that you add another 33 to them to make a complete 36-word response. You may use the words in any order you choose.
Our three words are:
remember
rain
rebellion

I will forever continue to remember his rebellion against sobriety, but the rain of my tears never fails to wash my guilt away. I still think – why couldn’t I fix him? Why didn’t he want help?

Love the way you worked that around the theme! very natural.
My brain went in a completely different direction.
Thank you! 🙂
this was a good original take on the words with great emotion in so few words
Thank you very much.
Oh, nice! A serious regret described so beautifully.
Thanks very much.
This is really moving!
Thank you!
those rebellions are so real – so heartbreaking to loved ones around
They certainly are….
Love it Sue….I’ve felt this before 🙂
It’s like hitting a brick wall.

You described it perfectly. The why is never answered. You can only watch.
Very sad….but very true.
The ‘if only’… the photo was an excellent addition, I stared at it for some time before I read your piece and did not expect what you wrote, very well thought out take on the 3 R’s.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Wow! A full and poignant story here. Sad that this is so true with many people.
Sad, indeed. And thank you.
Wow. This is most excellent… in just 36 words. You hit home with a deep subject matter. I think this is really wonderful! XO ~ J
Thank you very much. I truly appreciate that.
Welcome. 🙂
A very sad story.
It sure was. Thanks for reading.
You’ve said so much in 33 words.
Thank you!
WOW – so true and very well done! 😀
Thank you. 🙂
Oh, those unanswerable questions!
Been there. Done that. Got the guilt trip t-shirt.
This was really powerful. I don’t think those questions have answers but asking them means something.
Thank you. Asking them helps get beyond the hurt.
The helplessness we feel that we couldn’t help. Wishing the ones close to us would open up a bit more, trust us a bit more.
Yes….I’ve gone through it several times and it’s very frustrating.
),: This is heartbreaking. It’s still a lovely piece, though.
So sad. Beautiful description of such raw emotions.
thank you very much.
Love how you captured the emotion of the futility of wanting to change someone.
Thank you. It really is like walking into a brick wall.
Poignant story!
Thank you very much.
Your post has taken an unexpected turn on the use of the words which I really enjoyed!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
A tough question but hope that guilt/regret is not the answer & that letting go is an option!A powerful piece:-)
Ugh. This is perfect. Unfortunately I know how perfect it really is.
Me too.
Sad. Guilt is such a powerful thing.
It sure is.
