He Never Came Home
08.09.06 (9:35 am) [edit]
An atypically cool July morning in Maryland four years ago ,Tom was leaving for work and I got up for him for his regularily scheduled send off, hot tea ,breakfast , freshly made bag lunch plus hugs and kisses .
Just before I went back to bed ( I was working a later night shift and usually went back to bed after he left for another 2 or 3 hours), he was sitting on our couch in the livingroom finishing his breakfast and watched me go back to the bedroom.
Maybe that was goodbye.
I remember his gaze to this day.
~ You start the day as one person , and end it as someone totally different .One of life's startling moments.
A totally unexpected ending to a day in your life.

I hope the someone you end up the day being is a contented and happy one. Take care.
