Chap 5
He stood there on the bank of the lake saying a silent prayer, thanking God for the time he was able to have with his wife. They're marriage only lasted a few weeks before it was torn apart by death but it was the most wonderful time either of them had ever had in their lives.
He slowly opened the can, then as a gust of cool wind blew, he scattered her ashes. She had once said she wanted to be cremated, and he was fulfilling her wish. He was so sad this was goodbye. He only regretted how long it took him to face his fears and jump into a relationship. Had he conquered his fear earlier maybe he would have had more time with her, maybe she never would have gotten sick, maybe God wouldn't have had to use death to get him to face his fears.
He knew life was going to different without her, and he knew it was going to be hard, but he had his family around him, and his memory of her and her beautiful smile to keep him going.
He knew that this was not the end; it was only the beginning of a life long journey that would eventually come to an end and reunite their souls for an eternity. He even had her final words that continued to ring in his head as proof of that:
"Grissom, never forget our time together and believe we will be
together again someday, it is only a matter of time. I love you."
