love, that is.
And so it was. Love, that is. That’s what they were in. Love. There were opportunities calling out for him but he opted to stay with love. There weren’t any opportunities for her. She wondered what she would have done had he not come back for her.
Marry another?
Become an old maid?
There was no need to think of it. He was there and that’s all that mattered.
He never wondered what his life would have been like had he decided otherwise. He only wanted his life with her.
His love, his life, his family, his heart.
All with her.
Together, they had three boys. They bought a house, then sold it. They built a house and sold that. They bought another house and sold it. And finally they moved into the house they would grow old together in. The house his parents grew old together in.
He still lived for her. She grew older and couldn’t get around much. He never complained. They were a team! That’s what happens in life! Oh, and what a life it was, he would exclaim!
They grew older and older together until she got sick. He stayed by her side and he held her hand. He listened to her when she told him she was scared. He listened to her when she picked out her last outfit. And then he listened to her last breaths. She was gone.
All of his life was meant for her.
His love, his life, his heart.
All for her.
He lived his last days asking for her. Asking what she thought about all of this. Asking if she would be coming in to see him. Then he was gone. And now, for all we know, he is with her again.
