Literature Text
I am the stone face of this family.
When asked how I am, I reply,
"I'm doing alright, I promise,
"I'm doing my best to get by."
I listen to condolences
And end every phrase with a smile.
Secretly, the truth is
I'm forcing myself not to cry.
"I am the stone face of this family,"
I repeat even though it's a lie.

Within the last 60 days I have lost two of my three grandfathers. My Stepfather is having open heart surgery in a matter of weeks. We are having to leave our home. We are broke. We struggle. We suffer. And through it all, I remain the solid rock watching my family as they live their days with pain and heartache across their faces. I cannot do as they do for my family needs me to be strong. I do not know that I can be.
