As she sat on the beach, she thought about her family. Could her husband live without her? Would her daughter remember her? She wished she could stay here longer...but He would be coming for her soon. She sat and watched the sun descend into it's blanketed horizon. She watched the harsh oranges and blues turn to soft reds, pinks and purples. The puffy clouds arranged like giant soldiers to salute the setting of the sun. The gentle waves played taps as teh sun continued it's unhurried descent. Her mind took her back to her old house in the hills...the many nights she'd sit in the branches of the old oak tree and watch the sun set. She loved that old tree. Her father had told her it was older than the house...She giggled. She had never believed him. That house had to be hundreds of years old. Trees never lasted that long. Then her mind flashed to the day she met her husband. She was so shy, that he barely knew she existed until the fateful day she met him in the college library. His dark hair and green eyes had lured her into his loving arms, and there she had stayed. Their wedding was a beautiful one. She didn't have money for a dress, so she and her mother-in-law to be made one for her. She would never forget the look on her husband's face when she walked down the aisle...pure love and adoration.... Her mind took her again to the day their beautiful daughter was born..she would never forget the soft bundle of joy she held in her arms...the tiny hands gripping her finger with gentle strength..Oh how she wished she could be back home with her little girl! A sound brought her to the present. She turned her head at the sound of her name. He was walking toward her! He had come for her! She was so happy to see him, she stood up and ran into his open arms! She stared into the eyes that held nothing but love for her. He took her hand, and led her to her new home..... "She's gone" the doctor said. The nurse pulled the sheet over the old woman's smiling face. "At least she was happy..." This was one of my most popular posts..I have a sequel, but it isn't finished yet... |

Very wonderful descriptions.. and very intersting that your series begins with a story about death. Of course, death is a beginning as well. Looking forward to the continuation! Oh, make me Thine forever |
