Do you Remember me? My Sweet Husband.

 Diary entry:

 Do you remember me? My sweet husband.

 

Wednesday 6:05 am:

  

   I write as you sleep my sweet husband. Today will be about us while you wake. Both of us face -to face underneath the silk, listening to a bluebird’s song outside our window. Oh, how you loved those mornings. Do you remember how beautiful they were? Do you remember me, my sweet husband?

   Ah yes, what a pair we make. It is you leaving this life in mind, my leaving it in body. How strange this end.

    Although, I feel today will be a better day for us. For if you happen to remember me only in moments, I will remind you of our days. And if you happen to remember me only in days. I will remind you of our years.

Now, should I leave this life before you my sweet husband of Sixty years, I know there will be a beacon.

And I will meet you there.

 

 

 

Oh yes, my sweet husband, 

You’ll remember me then.

Very sweet and endearing. Remembrances leave imprints with solid dates and times of yesteryear. A long marriage can be a beacon for others or the new generation. It is always on the back of the mind of married couple who will go first and it leaves worry and sadness in their hearts.
