Six More Days
Six days before William died we were sitting in the kitchen having coffee together. I looked over at him and saw the morning sun glowing around him. He looked so sad and tired, ill and old. I remember thinking it would be soon, that he wouldn't make it 'til Christmas. He had no idea it would be so soon. I snapped a picture and noticed the rays around his head.
I asked him to smile. I see the sadness in his eyes.
He died six days later.

It is marvelous that you have these photos. The look of love in his eyes to the one behind the camera brought me to tears. He smiled.
@murisopsis: thank you for noticing and pointing that out, Val. It made me look again and you're right.
He did love me, silly man. <3
Life is sad and people move on. We can hope to see them again someday!
@murisopsis: Great observation, Val.
