o0o

Many years have passed with the seasons. We’re still close. Edward visits every year. But never in the summer. Always in the fall. Always raining.

He says the heat has made him mad in his later years. Then the humidity dwindles and he seeks me out.

I’ve stayed close to what’s left of home. His visits comfort me as they do him. The rain is his absolution, all pretensions washing away.

Then goodbye comes again. He touches me, making up for all the times he didn’t.

My headstone is rough to his fingers.

“I told you I’d miss you, Anita.”
