Someone

It had been approximately 4 months, 1 week, 4 days, 4 hours and 40 minutes since Someone had hit the reset button in her life. Many things had come to pass in that time, and while most of them were good, she would always find a reason to complain; wouldn't we all?

Approximately 4 months, 1 week, 4 days, 4 hours, and 40 minutes ago, a heart had stopped beating. While it was not hers, it had most certainly felt like it. She watched as no one even skipped a beat in picking up the pieces, how people continued to hustle and bustle, how the world had not ceased moving; she stood in awe.

Sometimes, she wanted to scream. Sometimes, she felt overwhelmed, and sometimes she felt like no one was really listening to her. But Someone had, more or less. Someone special.

Someone sent people, opportunities, and special gifts to her in those 4 months approximation of time, and, she realized, Someone was still sending them. Someone helped her realized that yes, these things happen: hearts stop, people die, and we lose things-people-yet we must move on. There were other things-other people-who needed us to move on. Sometimes, those 'people' happened to be an individual at a bus stop who needed to hear what she believed. Sometimes, it was just a coworker who needed her to cover a shift whilst said coworker was ill and away.

But Someone also sent special moments-quiet, peaceful moments-in which that heart that stopped 4 months ago would come and hold her hand. It was not every day-it was not even every week! But that heart had continued beating on a spiritual plane, and watched her progress very closely.
