Headstall's Reflections - 54. Chapter 54 Anxiety

You had my heart racing while reading the first poem and I admit to a small tear when you saw the panic in your son's eyes 

As for the second poem, the power of the first just shows it is not true, as an author and more importantly as a friend, you still have much to offer.

Oh Gary--you nearly caused my own anxiety attack reading this--I'd put an exclamation mark here but you won't let me. 

There are some people who enter our lives that take permanent residence in our hearts and souls, and you've done that in mine...don't make me think of a time when you'll be only a cherished memory; I have those now, and am wishing for years and decades of more(!).

You scared me with Anxiety. That was written too well, from the inside out. Enlightened felt like the calm returning, even as you express fears and misgivings and the complaints of age. 

 

But you are not done, nor ever a has-been. You have way too much vitality for that, my brother. 

Thank you, Parker... your words help

Gary, I'll always be there for you, through thick and thin.

 

 <--this time, you're the purple one.  Is that a cheesy way of saying you can always lean on me? Yes it is.  But, I hope it made you laugh and smile.  

Thanks, Drew... made me laugh, and tear up xo

My friend, your creative vitality, generosity, passion have inspired and educated this newbie writer. You still have all those things and so much else to offer here and in real life. I hope that you are able to leave your anxiety behind you as you recover.

Thanks, northie... your thoughtful words really help.

You captured the fear and physical response to anxiety perfectly.  I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time.  You have a lot of people you can lean on and that can relate.  I hope things are on the upswing.  

Thank you, my friend. Your support has been wonderful
