MEMORIES OF A DIRE AND WONDERFUL TWO YEARS


My husband died three years ago.
                  Three  long years.
                          Three short years.

His clothing is gone
Except for the two  sports jackets I made for him and the combat boots from his Army basic training.

His lecture notes are shredded and composted.

His bulletin is dismantled except for his army pin up picture of Anita Ekberg and his father’s 1934 calendar given to coal customers the year he died.

Memories of our 50+ years.
                 Memories of the last two years.

AML Leukemia (no cure) came.
                Two years with treatment.
                           Two months without.

We chose the two years. The next few entries will be memories of that sad and happy time.
