hi. i hate to be a pest and contact you at your personal journal, but i thought it would be inappropriate to post this in theysaid because it is not a poem. i'm looking for a poem that was posted in theysaid twice, from the point of view of a widow or widower. there was a part in it, i think, about cutting an orange. either remembering the person doing it or the speaker was doing it. it's really important to me to find this poem because my high school english teacher's husband was just killed in a car accident, so now it's just her and her nine year old son, and i just had her last year, and i can't think of anything to say to her about it because i know that nothing will comfort her, and that "i'm sorry for your loss" often sounds unintentionally cold. i have to say something to her, or do something for her, because she went out of her way a lot for me writing recommendations and awarding me a scholarship so we were relatively close, and she is my mother's coworker. i think that being an english teacher she would appreciate this poem ( ... )
