Think about Jack.
I remembered how heavenly it was to
Wake up and snuggle with him awhile,
Feeling secure in his teddy bear arms and
Basking in the quiet joy of being
Treasured.
He always made me laugh before we
Got out of bed to eat breakfast.
He preferred poached eggs while I
Dutifully ate my oatmeal with fruit and
Walnuts.
We were perfect for each other.
We always said that God arranged our
Marriage.
I don't allow myself to retrieve these poignant
Memories very often because it's hard on
My heart.
But I don't want to forget, so I indulged myself
This morning.
If Jack were still alive he would be
92 today.
