Last evening I was setting on the computer, as I always do.
I here my mother up on top of the stairs and she's pacing.
As she calls my name, I don’t ponder I immediately jump
up knowing my mother needs me. The sound of her voice
is wrong. So very wrong… I come up the stairs to see the
look of a lose in her eyes. I ask “what is the matter”?
She started to sob. She says “he's gone” Lou is gone.
For a second in a half I thought to myself.
Who in Gods earth is Lou? But it hit.
It was the man that my mother took care of for seven years.
His Wife now Widow called my mother late.
Knowing my mother would be there. She just wept.
I learned a valuable lesson this night.
The widow of Lou was with man for 65 years.
I stopped in my tracks and the world came to a blur in my eyes.
If they can do it I can do, I said to myself.
When I was flying in the sky. Like a bird.
I found myself at a halt. Thinking that we are so little and the world is so big. It goes on and on.
Everyone day by day does the same thing. Work, Farm, Chidren, etc.
Does anyone stop and look at your lover, and just say I love you?
My answer to that question is no. I never do. and now that Lou is gone It took a life to see my husband.
Thank Lou,
for saving my marriage.
