Chapter 249:
at 00:41
A little bird told me this story today:
A man and lady was married 27 years ago. This man had never shopped for his shirts 'cause his lady helped him buy 2-3 shirt every year, without fail. She knows his size and preferred brand and never once did she stopped.
It became their habit, she buys and he wears. No complaints from either party.
A few months ago, the man passed away. The lady was devastated, and till now, is still in grief. But of course, being the strong woman she is, she carried on with life, being strong for kids and her kids being strong for her.
A few days ago, she went to take a walk around town herself, a break from the daily routine of her life. Instead of going to the departmental store she was used to, which had the men's section on another level, she went to another branch.
To her dismay, the men's section of this branch was right in front of her once she stepped in. Looking at the array of men's clothes, and how she used to buy it for her man, and how she couldn't anymore, she teared up right there in the department store.
27 years. That's a really long time, isn't it?
Long enough for habits to form, but still too short when it's measured in terms of life.

Funny how grief just sneaks up upon you, catching you unaware. Newer Posts
