I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer

The summer season (and late spring) bring much sadness into my life. The bookends of May 20th and August 4th are provided by the dates of death of the grandparents I was fortunate enough to know. In between lie many tragic events in my life. In particular, the death of my beloved, which haunts me alwaays, lies especially heavy this time of year. Today it's been too much for me to handle.
