wtf, over?
on March 10th, 2012In today’s email: a note w subject heading Re: Jeff Flanagan gathering.
Good lord. That was a while ago, my husband’s funeral. Silly me, curious enough to open the note before coffee, even. From one of his college friends, whom I met only once: “Came across this email and don’t think I ever replied. I wanted to go to this event, meet his friends, and add whatever positive energy I could. He was a fine fellow. I hope you and Anna are well and are doing well.”
He was a fine fellow.
There is no end to this. To tears, springing suddenly on any given morning.
I keep thinking there is.

The other day at work a retired partner was in the office working on his family tax returns and as usual he came to me for some help with the software. I have not spoken to him since prior to my husband’s death. As I am leaving his office, he looks at me with a big smile and says “how is your husband doing?”. It broke my heart to tell him.
Absolutely. I was so grateful that this guy took the time to write. Even though I may sound just a tad bitter, it is also sweet.
Yes. Such unexpected happenings bring tears.
I imagine they always will.
Yet I am so grateful when someone remembers my spouse, says his name and appreciates how wonderful he was, to know that others appreciated him also.
It’s a gift.
