What happened? How did this happen? Why did this happen? Was it something I did? Something I didn't do? Did I do enough? Not enough?
Was there something I should have said? Could I have said anything? Did I say enough, or not enough? Did I speak when I should have been silent? Did I allow fear to keep me silent when I should have spoken? Was there something more I could have said? Something I forgot that would have made a difference? Would you have even heard me? Did you try to hear me?
Did I stand bold enough? Strong enough? Tall enough? Was I too weak to stand? Could you see the line in the sand? Did you know which side I stood on? Did I reach far enough? Hold on hard enough? Could I have grasped your hand if I had dared to stretch outside myself?
Would you have seen my hand? Would you have known I was reaching for you? Would you have grabbed hold if only I had tried harder? Could I have tried harder? Would it have made a difference? Does it make a difference now? Is it even up to me?
Do you see how much I care? Do you know I'll stand beside you? Do you know I'll fight for you?
This is just the beginning. You're not alone. I'll be here.

Oh Shauna,
I have no idea what inspired this post, but it's heart breaking. And beautifully written.
((HUGS))
echoing jenster's comment- can't come up with one more thing to say.
beautiful.
heartbreaking.
sending up a prayer for whatever inspired this.
Very poignant, Shauna. Makes me want to cry.
I wonder if it's not for the same reason I've been asking myself many of the very same questions.
that seems to be a song to me Shauna. Have you put it to music?
Love this Shauna!
That's beautiful, Shauna. Very touching reminder...
Jenster - I debated whether to even post it because I couldn't share the reason behind the questions. It has nothing to do with Chad, though. All good on that front. Thanks for the hugs.
His Girl - Thanks. I appreciate the prayer.
Becky - What are your reasons? We could share. ;-)
S4J - I hadn't thought of it that way. I'll have to go back and see if I can work it that way. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure I'd be any good at writing music. I've never done it before.
Jen - Thanks.
Deb - Thanks. I hope it's a lesson I'll remember.
Hope all is well soon whatever may be wrong.
Also wanted to let you know I'll get that meme post up tonight.
Hiya, dear.
Funny, but I never even thought about Chad. :o)
Travis - It'll work out. Thanks for doing the meme.
Jenster - Just don't want Chad getting a bad rap. ;-)
