Saying Goodbye
Part X
Diagnosis

Until this moment,
I always thought “heartbreak”
was just a
hotel Elvis sang about.
I had no idea. The pain…
Until this moment…
It’s really breaking.
I can feel it twisting and
writhing and coming apart in there.
A sadness, deeper than space, spreads.
I don’t think I’ll ever feel happy again.

When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen for what seemed a long time, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67.
Doug has published three books so far: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book on iTunes/iBook; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" published as a paperback and Kindle on Amazon, and a new book of poetry, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”, available as both an ebook and as a paperback. (Gatekeeper Press) on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and a few others.)Latest posts by Doug Stanfield (Hemmingplay) (see all)
