Three Months

Last night I had another dream where we were estranged.  I have read this is common for new widows.  Your subconscious tries to figure things out while you dream.  So mine is trying to understand why we’re not together.  Where you are.

The widow I spoke to the other day for the first time- who also happens to have lost her husband while he was traveling overseas suddenly- told me that she would physically feel this date approaching each month- even if she’d not been thinking of it in the forefront of her mind.

This is true I realize today.  I thought dates not important when sorrow is each moment- but I have…
felt it coming.
