It was a cold day on May 12th, 1915 as Sadie Carson sat down in the well loved, but freshly padded rocking chair that her grandfather had carved over sixty years ago. The young woman had just finished her chores for the evening and was waiting on her husband. Five minutes later Sadie’s husband, Paul came into the light blue sitting room from plowing the fields and kissed her forehead before noticing the letter on his wife’s lap, yet to be opened. Paul knew all too well who had written it even without the faint scent of rose perfume that wafted through the air, the person who had taken the time to write the letter always used it before mailing anything to his wife, for that was her favorite scent. He patted his wife’s hand lovingly as he took the hot cup of coffee from his usual mug on the table beside Sadie, she always made coffee right before Paul came inside each evening. Sadie’s curly, long, light red hair started to fall from its neat braided bun as she let out a soft sigh before carefully opening the letter. Paul smiled softly as his wife of ten years handed him the letter to read out loud, an act that she loved whenever he was home. Paul sat down in the matching rocking chair before he put on his reading glasses and started to read “ My dearest Sadie, the weather is warm in Colorado, the mountains are beautiful and the crops are plentiful, but I didn’t write to you to talk about the weather or the changing landscape. I have given this a great deal of thought and I’ve decided to take you up on your offer that you had made last winter. That’s right, I’m moving to Maine. I can’t wait to see you and baby Noah, I bet that he’s gotten so big since I saw him last. Paul will have his hands full when his son starts to work with him, I’m sure. I have some news that I would like to share with you and Paul when I arrive in two weeks time. With all my love, Sylvia E. Hollingsworth. P.S. please kiss little Noah for his godmother.”

  • Their Unfinished Love    Saying Goodbye

    A week later, Sadie crosses her ankles as she rocks back and forth in the worn rocking chair in her bedroom while looking beside her at Paul’s matching rocking chair. The older woman glances around the room and stops at the bed; her husband’s favorite blue suit is sitting on the bed along with her floor length low cut black dress and black three inch solid black close toed heels. The clothes stare back at her, almost haunting her as Sadie gets up and goes over to the bed. A moment later Sadie lets the black sheer robe fall from her naked body as she begins to get dressed. Several minutes later Sadie looks at her reflection in the long mirror on the back of the dressing room door, she shivers at the sight; the once young woman is replaced with an older one with wrinkled cheeks and hands; a new widow is staring back at Sadie and she hates it as she falls to her knees and cries out in anguish. Outside the door, Sylvia’s heart breaks at the

    A little while later, Sadie makes her way to her husband's room after telling Sylvia and Elizabeth about Paul.Sadie steps into the small hospital room and is instantly filled with fear, anger, sadness and regret as she looks at her husband's frail body in the bed. The sounds of the machines aren't a comfort for she will never hear her husband's voice again or feel his strong arms around her waist. Six hours later after Sylvia and the others say thier goodbyes, Sadie crawls into her husband's bed and curls her body around him as she prays for a miracle. The machines are turned off one by one as Sadie clings to Paul and cries. The older woman's body shakes as she hears her husband's chest rise and fall for the last time. After thirty five years of wonderful years together Sadie has lost her husband, her first love and first friend.

    A few minutes later, Elizabeth and Sylvia go with the other two doctors to see thier husbands after Sadie gently tells them to leave. Dr. Ellison turns her attention to Sadie as she says " Mrs. Carson, I'm so sorry, but when the man attacked your husband, Paul fell and hit his head. The man shot him before he fell from what I learned from Nathan. The man has been arrested and the police said his name was Dakota Hessler. Does that name sound familiar to you?" Sadie wrings her hands as she says " they served in the war together. Dakota's son Antonio was in thier squad and was killed in action. Paul tried to save him, but couldn't. I never thought that Dakota would find him." Dr. Ellison puts a comforting hand on Sadie's before she says " Paul doesn't have any brain activity left. I've done the test six times. I'm so very sorry. The machines are breathing for him. You may see him and stay as long as you want to. He's in room 201 when you're ready. I wish I could have helped your

  • Their Unfinished Love    Strength

    An hour later, Sylvia and Sadie wake up just as three doctors come in. A yong woman with blue eyes and black hair goes over to Elizabeth, her white coat reads Dr. Ellison, an older woman with green eyes and blonde hair goes over to Sylvia and finally an old gentleman with white hair and kind blue eyes comes over to Sadie. The three women link arms as the doctors come to the realization that the Sadie, Elizabeth and Sylvia were staying with each other. Dr. Ellison watches the group in front of her as she says "There was an accident while a someone was hunting. Nathan has a few cuts and bruises as well as a broken rib from trying to help Paul after the hunter attacked him,but he will recover. Phillip helped the two men and was injured by a stray bullet, but it doesn't look like there will be any lasting damage." The two women share a look of relief before Sadie asks "what about Paul? How's my husband?"

  • Their Unfinished Love    Waiting

    Two hours later in the waiting room, Sadie prays for healing and news soon while Elizabeth wraps her arms around her mothers as Sylvia fights the urge to throw up. The three women wait for what seems like an eternity as others clear out after learning about their loved ones. A few minutes later, Elizabeth goes to grab coffee while Sylvia curls up against Sadie on the grey couch by the only window in the waiting room. Sadie smiles softly as she moves her hand to her dear friend's stomach where her unborn child rests comfortably, a baby that only the women have known about for the last ten weeks, before moving to lay against Sylvia. Twenty minutes later, Elizabeth comes back from the cafeteria with the freshly made coffee and stops in her tracks as she watches her two mothers sleeping peacefully next to each other, Sadie sleepily playing with Sylvia's greying hair while Sylvia snores softly. Elizabeth chuckles softly at the sight of the two women with thier hands on Sylvia's stomach.

  • Their Unfinished Love    The News

    Elizabeth breaths deeply before saying "ma, I'm pregnant. I think about ten to twelve weeks given the fact that I'm starting to show and the morning sickness is starting to cease.Nathan is so excited, but I'm a little scared. This will be our first baby together. " Sylvia nods, but before she can say anything Sadie comes in with four month old Daniel and says the news that neither wanted to hear "there's been an accident in the woods, Patricia ran here to inform us. I don't know who's hurt. We need to get to the hospital. Patricia offered to watch the children. "
