What It Was

I am realizing now what the essence of my marriage to Sue Hart was. And it was the rarest of the bonds that make a marriage. It was companionship, friendship. Even now, I store the day's events away to tell her, and am wondering how she filled her day. Whether it was by phone or pillow talk or across a table, or side by side in a car, we wrought a daily communion that kept us close. I will always be thinking of the things I want to tell her, and will always want to hear about her own life.
