Acceptance

Accepting that someone you love and depend on is gone from cancer is very, very difficult to accept.  Accepting that you will never see that person again on this earth is almost impossible. 
No doctor or medical institution can bring him back?  Impossible.
The rest of the world is going on without him in it? I don't get it.
It's been 10 months, and as the shock wears off and reality sinks in, putting these feelings into words helps to get them out of my head and out into cyber space. 
Keith loved the Serenity Prayer.  How appropriate it is for this situation.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
