I don’t see her the way I used to,
but every so often she is a shape in the clouds,
she is two leaves forming a pattern
or she is the warm air that lulls me into sleep.
Gone, but not forgotten.

This is my first submission for the Gargleblaster challenge.
Gargleblaster: this week’s ultimate question
Is everyone recovered from last week’s gargleblaster binge? Fabulous! Take a deep breath and get ready for the next round. This week’s ultimate question was provided by yeah write editor Michelle, who found it on page 42 of Broken Magic by author and yeah write alum Eric Sipple:
Do you see her much?
Let’s see how you answer this question in 42 words. Be creative!

Good luck with your gargleblaster. You’ll need to change the badge in your post in order to submit it to the grid. Look for the one that says gargleblaster #157.

Thank you very much.
Gorgeous, poignant and memorable. I really liked this.
Thank you Lance. I really appreciate that.
I liked this. You made a heartbreaking thought beautiful. The tone of the voice is hopeful now, as he sees her in a different way than he used to… Nicely done! 🙂
Thank you. It is written about my mom who passed away a little over a month ago.
Oh, this warmed me from the inside out!
Aww….thank you. 🙂
This is lovely and warm.
Thank you very much.
This is exactly how I feel about lost loved ones.
It’s comforting seeing the signs.
I love the image of the two leaves, and the idea of catching unexpected glimpses. Lovely, really. Sorry about the badge confusion – I keep trying to come up with ways to make it easier. It helps when I don’t mess up the link-up… 🙂 Thanks for posting!
My mom loved butterflies and when I glanced at the tree the two leaves had come together to form a butterfly. It was comforting. I’ll be more for more challenges!
Yours is beautiful! Here’s (with quite a few words to spare).
I don’t see her as much as I like, but I see her more than I deserve.
Aww….that is beautiful as well.
Seems someone is coming to accept a loss. Lovely.
Thank you.
Lovely. I, just this minute, wrapped my little girl in my mother’s purple blanket and told her it was a warm hug from her Grandma (who died last August).
That is beautiful – thank you for sharing that. 🙂
Awww, this was very touching and melancholy. Nice job!
Thank you.
