At my husband\u2019s funeral, I spotted \u201cmy girls.\u201d Once inseparable, at that moment, we seemed to be strangers in our golden years. As we reunited over regrets and lost time, one reckless idea left us questioning everything.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The funeral was quiet. Just a few people stood by, exchanging whispers. I stood apart, clutching my husband\u2019s old hat. It was all I had left of him, of us. The murmurs of condolences drifted past me, barely registering.\u201cYou should come inside,\u201d someone whispered, but I didn\u2019t moveMy mind replayed all the plans we\u2019d postponed. Our last trip to the ocean, the dreams we shelved for later. Later he was gone.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIs that\u2026 Nora?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

My voice caught in my throat as I spotted a familiar figure at the edge of the group. She looked unsure, holding her handbag tightly, like a shield. Before I could gather myself, another familiar face appeared.\u201cLorna?\u201d I whispered, almost laughing in disbelief.<\/p>\n

She stood confidently, her bright scarf and glasses a splash of life against the somber crowd. It was like seeing a ghost of my youth, but her eyes held the weight of years gone by.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cMy girls\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Later, we found ourselves crammed into a small caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis feels surreal,\u201d Nora admitted, stirring her tea. \u201cHow long has it been since we\u2019ve all been together?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cToo long,\u201d Lorna answered. \u201cAnd for this to be the reason\u2026 It\u2019s unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I nodded. \u201cI spent the last years taking care of him. Everything else just\u2026 stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhat now?\u201d Nora asked gently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHis last wish was to see the ocean again. I didn\u2019t make it happen while he was here. But I will now.\u201d\u201cI don\u2019t even know what my own wishes are anymore,\u201d Nora confessed. \u201cMy family\u2026 I don\u2019t think they\u2019ve ever seen me as more than a housekeeper. I changed the Thanksgiving turkey recipe last year, and it was a scandal. A turkey scandal.\u201dnext page\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
