This is my parents when the first retired and moved into their home.  I so much wish they were still living the life they were living then, instead of the life they are living now.  But…I saw a wishing-well down by a streamI do not understand what wishes meanJust ask for nothing you get what you getI wanted something and not got it yet(Rasputina, “Stumpside”)So… yeah.  Maybe that feels a little too bitter, and I’m not that bitter yet.  I just wish I was there, I wish I could hold his hand, I wish I could curl up in bed with him when he was dying so he’d know in his bones that he wasn’t alone, I wish so many things that won’t happen so I don’t know if there’s a point in wishing anymore.

I saw a wishing-well down by a stream
I do not understand what wishes mean
Just ask for nothing you get what you get
I wanted something and not got it yet

(Rasputina, “Stumpside”)

So… yeah.  Maybe that feels a little too bitter, and I’m not that bitter yet.  I just wish I was there, I wish I could hold his hand, I wish I could curl up in bed with him when he was dying so he’d know in his bones that he wasn’t alone, I wish so many things that won’t happen so I don’t know if there’s a point in wishing anymore.
