BITTERSWEET
Watching them,
my soul’s warmed. He’s a great father. I couldn’t find a better guardian for
our son.
My husband is
smart, witty, and a great provider. I think of the first time we met in the
grocery store. I knew he was following me.
Him: “Excuse me ... can you tell me where the bread
is?”
Me: He’s kidding right? “Uh ... if you avert your
eyes to the left. Ta da!”
He turns red and smiles: “I’m so blinded by your
beauty, I can’t see.”
Me, groaning: “That’s a terrible pick-up line. Does it
ever work?”
Him, laughing: “This is the first time I’ve used it.
You tell me.”
I stare at him
now, a protective arm around our son. I smile. It did.
I feel a pull.
Time to go. You don’t yet know that I’m dead. A car
accident two blocks away.
Goodbye my loves.
