In Memory of my Grandfather, Harvey Dolinsky




 Anyone that breathes in oxygen for the first time in their life, is destined to gasp for it during their last.  Life is as symbiotic to death as anatomy is to physiology.  They are intercorrelated, as one simply cannot exist without the other.  Of this we are all aware, however it never makes it easier to understand when great loss comes pounding at your door.  The death of a loved one always triggers the perplexing question that we shove to the back of our minds for the sake of sanity.  What really happens after our hearts beat for the last time and we cease to exist in our physical form?

What do you see?






I constantly wonder how I appear to others around me.  Does my small stature give any clue that I struggle to gain weight on a daily basis?  Does the green glimmer in my eyes reflect the tears, which always break free in spite of doing my best to repress them?  How well does my face hide the suffering and pain that has preyed upon my soul, eating away at my core from the inside out?
