The Skeptic's Kaddish ๐ฎ๐ฑ 
I think I just said this, but…life is hard. This is another way people use to escape. How do we learn to face the demons? (K)
I have no idea. I think I’d be utterly lost if I were in his shoes.
Oh wow, that was delivered with a guttural response.. ๐ข but well done.โฃ๏ธ

A very sad portrait, David, nicely captured.
๐ Thanks, Merril ๐
You’re welcome!๐
Sad. Nicely written. ๐

So sad, so well written. Nice job David.
๐ค Lauren, thank you ๐ค
This is such an intriguing piece. A sad ending, but sadly, that is life sometimes. You tell an interesting story with just a few lines. I could probably make a mess of this structure! ๐
yeah I was wondering if I could get a bit of a story across with only 24 syllables ๐ – it seemed like a fun challenge for myself!

David
You absolutely did achieve that writing goal.
Fantastic! โค
you’re very sweet, Michele. Thank you โค

Kind of reminded me of a Bukowski poem, said so much with only a few words๐
โค Thanks so much, Christo โค
beautiful piece David. Very sad indeed, the cycle of life is sometimes so painful. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful weekend together. Love to your family, Joni
๐ You too, Joni, thank you! ๐
You are most welcome – Ben when I went into my comment section this morning I had a bunch of them and I saw your name a few times. When I went into answer them our internet went down for about three minutes until we rebooted the WiFi router. When that was done all your sweet comments were gone. So I tried to find them but only found two. So if I miss something forgive me. I never want to ignore a comment. Have a blessed day David, love to both you and your sweet family. xoxoxo Joni
I was mostly expressing my appreciation for your sweetness, Joni โค
Yours,
David
Oh thank you David, you are very sweet and considerate. Yours, Joni xoxoxo

Ack! So sad on all fronts! Drinking to forget only makes the person forget the good parts and reinforces the bad ones!! The sense of hopelessness is palpable!!

Mmmm. Such pain, captured stunningly, dear David. โค๏ธ
