DECEASED WIFE

As time passes, memories ebb and flow like ocean waves,even sometimes like an unexpected tsunami. They sometimes appear foggy and sometimes crystal clear.

Her life,that I knew, during marriage was like the facets of a top grade D color round cut diamond.

Some of you may know this, but if you don’t I’ll tell you. A round cut diamond has 58 facets.

Maybe I knew 15 facets maybe 16 or 17. As I think back, I know there were a lot of things about her I did not know.

I now regret not asking or taking time to learn about those other facets. Indeed, guilt creeps in often as I think about missed opportunities.

I suppose the pang of emotions will subside, just as the the ocean tides recede,but the memories I’m sure will surface periodically throughout the remainder of my life.
