Year-and-a-Day

This is it. Year and a day. Had some prayer time this morning before I got out of bed. Thanked Lois for her presence in my life. Thanked God for the same thing. And I pulled the wedding ring off. It wasn't easy but I did it and I felt something lighten. No angels singing, no thunderclaps. But a realization that there's a new day ahead.

So I took her wedding ring and mine and put them on one of her gold chains. As I pondered which drawer to put them in, I noticed the blue jar on top of the dresser, the one with her ashes in it. So I dropped them both in there and replaced the lid.

It's over.

It's begun.
