the loss

I realized last night something I have lost. It went away with my old computer. It was a 30 plus page file. My poems, my thoughts, and my ideas. Anything of myself that I can not share. When she died I wrote for days. About what she looked like, about her habit of moving her glasses up right before she started listing to me. I wrote about m uncle to. I re-counted everything I could remember about the night he died. It was healing to know that was out there. If only on my computer. So I morn the loss of a lot of my emotion. I feel almost empty with out it.

There are some computer experts who can get to a file even though there is a total crash. Have you looked into that? Possibly someone at school?

I wish you luck, Stef. I hate loosing anything I write.

I'm sorry, Stef. I know what it's like to lose important writing and files. Hope you find a way to track down the lost file.
