You Got Me Again

Holly walked over the snow covered ground. Her destination was not far off the path. A few more steps and the smile on her face grew wide.

"Hey Gail, I missed you," she said and kneeled down.

"My Dad sends Christmas greetings. Do you remember the first time you both met? It was our first Christmas together. I will never forget it. We had lots of fun. Hell, I couldn't belive he fell in love with you the moment he saw you," Holly recalled with a smile and chuckled. "You and him were quite a pair!"

"Oh, Oliver brought us a present, and like always it was something gun-related." Holly shook her head at his sense of humor. "This time he made Celery bake a revolver shaped cake. You have to see it."

"I finally took Bo to the vet. Tell me again, why did we adopt a cat that was stuck in the tree?" she smiled as the memory of their first meeting, 8 years ago, washed over her. "Anyway, your cat, and yes he is yours, is just as clumsy as you." Holly grinned as a tear ran down her face.

"Traci called to say the new year's party will be at her house. She invited everyone. Oh, that reminds me, I promised her and Steve that I would look after our nephews tonight so they can go on a date. You remember our first date at the batching cages? I know you never considered it a date, but hell, it was one of the best I ever had." Holly smiled as she looked at the ground. "Your brother did good. Their sons asked me to kiss their auntie for them, and I promised them I would." Holly blew Gail a kiss, and giggled. She sniffed, as another tear rolled down her cheek.

"Your mom sends greetings, too. You would be surprised to know that she does not talk about the force as much as she used to. Can you believe she even has donuts for dessert? She says you would have liked that," she chuckled through the tears.

"When I woke up this morning, I saw the first snow of winter. Of course, I had to go out and make a snow angel, like the ones we used to make. Only this time, my angel was the only one," she said as more tears fell to the ground. "I really miss you, Gail." Holly sat in silence for a while, lost in her thoughts, then dusted a bit of snow off of Gail's gravestone.

Abigail Elaine Peck

Beloved Wife, Daughter, Sister, and Friend

Officer by Heart

"Did I tell you I was promoted to head of my department? No more poking at dead bodies," she laughed softly. "They held a nice ceremony for me, and your Mom made sure that everyone knew that I was her successful daughter-in-law." Holly shook her head at the memory, not too long ago.

"Anyway, I should head over to Traci's. I have a scheduled snowball fight with Leo. I think he just wants to tease his little brother like you used to tease him, and me for that matter," she smiled.

"I really miss you, Gail. It's been so hard, but our friends have been really supportive. They can't fill the hole in my heart, but I know they mean well, and I'm so grateful to have them," she said sadly. Holly placed a white rose, Gail's favorite, on the gravestone. "I love you, Gail. Always will."

She got up and smiled at the grave before she turned around to walk away. When she walked past a tree, a bit of snow fell down on her head. Holly stopped, and laughed with tears in her eyes. "You got me again, Gail." She looked up to the sky. "You got me again."

Holly turned to look at Gail's final resting place one last time. "I'll see you next week, my love."
