He Gave Her the Wedding, I Gave Him Divorce
"Hi, sweetheart. Mama's here."
I was hoping reading him books could help. So I read to him every day. The same stories he loved before the accident. The same voices and characters he used to make me read over and over until I had them memorized.
"Once upon a time, in a forest far away..."
My voice filled the quiet room, steady and calm even though my heart ached with every word.
As I turned a page, something slipped out from between the leaves. A card, decorated with colorful drawings. Flowers, stars, a crooked heart. The handwriting was uneven, letters jumbled and misspelled in that way that was so uniquely Theo's.
