A porcelain vase, once shattered, will never be whole again.
Mother must have said that a hundred times.
Of course mother had other sayings, too.
If there’s any doubt, there’s no doubt.
Happy people never wonder if they are happy.
All true, she thinks.
She closes the laptop.
Now she can’t see the emails.
She came close to deleting them, then thought better.
What would be the point?
She can’t delete them from her memory.
But of all the times to find out.
Tonight is the sunset champagne balloon ride, her anniversary gift surprise.
Well, she simply won’t tell him.
Odd moments are the gold-dust of time
She just needs to sit back and enjoy that flight! Great tale, Josh
Dear Josh,
Interesting. I’m not sure what she’s not telling him. It is true that words are the hardest things to erase from our minds. Those old tapes rewind and replay, don’ they?
Shalom,
Rochelle
She won’t tell him, but she may accidentally push him over the edge of the basket from a great height…!
Memories stay.
I know as I too remember them as like movie in my mind they play :)
Surprised, but not surprised, nice paradox.
Whatever she’s not telling him, I hope she is happy with it and that they are both happy. And then don’t have to wonder if they are …
I wonder if she has a quote on flying :) Very imaginative take!
… but he’ll soon find out! Nice one.
Here’s mine!
She’s going to go anyway, right? She seems to be a strong woman.
Looks like there are no secrets from her.
Sometimes you find out something you wish you hadn’t discovered. Like they say, you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
