A Widow’s Child, A Wife’s Goodbye
I didn’t scream.
I turned away, walked back to the bedroom, and closed the door without a sound.
Only then did the tears fall—quiet, uncontrollable.
Love like ours was rare in this age.
In a world consumed by war, where survival mattered more than promises, when romance was treated like a luxury few could afford, he still gave me a cathedral wedding and a dress so exquisite it felt unreal.
He wore his love for me openly.
My photograph was always tucked against his chest, close to his heart, a symbol he never tired of showing others.
