It happened just yesterday, in
a box store, I
whisked through the aisles, wanting
to be out of there quickly, and
slipped into a time pocket.
It only lasted a moment, long
enough to steal my breath, to
make my eyes water, to
send me back in time. Smoked salmon,
of all things. I’d
buy it for him, even though it was
expensive, and
he’d eat it all in one sitting, because…
just because. I
slipped into that time pocket, I
reached for it, my
hand snagged on a thread that
pulled me back, out of the pocket, to
the now where he’s not here to
eat the whole package
in one sitting, while
I watch indulgently on.

❤️❤️ No one ever said life would be easy. They didn’t mention it would be this hard, either. Hugs, sweetheart.

Yup it’s those simple things that get you sobbing in the most random and public of places. It’s like the emotion sneaks up on you and grabs you when you least expect it. This time of year it’s especially tough.

Love the image of you, very momily, watching him eating it all in one sitting.

🙂 Very momily, yes. I’d shake my head, knowing not to bother reminding him if he ate it all, there wouldn’t be any for later. Chris was nothing if not voracious.
