I owe you an apology.

I am sorry for my selfishness.

I am sorry for not being able to see past myself.

You were hurting and I should have been there for you.  I sent words, but I didn’t send myself.

“I don’t do funerals.”

I don’t know one person who enjoys them.

I didn’t realize the enormity of your loss, of your pain.

Please forgive me and understand that you were often in my thoughts and my prayers.  I still think of your loss and I wonder how you are doing.

I should have picked up the phone.

I should have come to mourn with you.

Forgive me.
