Song: She Misses Him sung by Tim Rushlow

Rating: PG or G. I dunno

She shaves his face

She combs his hair

She sighed and brushed back his hair. It had turned white countless years past. He had still been able to flirt and tease with her then.

She helps him find his rocking chair

She cooks his meals

She wipes his mouth

And the window that he's looking out

She gently led him over to the window and had him sit down in his old rocking chair. The one he had made for her at the birth of their first child.

She reads him books

She speaks his name

"Tristan, I've got a new book for you today. Tristan?"

Oh every day is much the same

She sighs that sigh from deep within

The one that says

She misses him

She sighed slowly and it ended on a gentle sob.

She misses his gentle touch

And the way he used to make her laugh

She misses the man he was

In all of those old photographs

So strong, so kind, so sweet, so smart

The man who stole her very heart

She misses him

While cleaning out the old photos, she came upon the first one ever taken of them. It was their senior year of high school and they were in each other's arms. Tears were streaming down her face. She had just gotten her acceptance letter to Harvard.

His children come on Saturday

Their at his feet

His grandkids play

It's sad they don't know him at all

He's just the one they call grandpa

"Grandpa! We got a new toy! Wanna see?" the youngest grandchild sat at his feet and watched him, then turned to her, "Gramma, is he asleep?"

"No, dear. He's not."

They take out his trash

They mow his lawn

Things he can't do since he's been gone

She's grateful that they're pitching in

And like everyone

She misses him

"Mom, we're done. We're going to go now alright? Tell Dad that we love him."

She misses his gentle touch

And the way he used to make her laugh

She misses the man he was

In all of those old photographs

So strong, so kind, so sweet, so smart

The man who stole her very heart

She misses him

She hadn't realized she was in love with him until it was almost to late. He had given up almost all hope that she would ever fell the same way.

And yes they're still together

After all these years

But sometimes you can almost feel

The sadness in her tears

Laying next to him in bed, she lay silent as tears poured down her face, soaking her pillow, still wet from the night before.

She misses his gentle touch

And the way he used to make her laugh

She misses the man he was

In all of those old photographs

So strong, so kind, so sweet, so smart

The man who stole her very heart

She misses him

She was cleaning the room around him when she heard a sound. She spun around. Tristan was looking right at her. Not the vague, not really look of recent years, but clear-eyed and loving.

"Rory?"
