Staring at the bowl, all I can think of is him. Vegas, us getting married. We were stupid young children that thought we knew everything. Mead Colorado, the small town were we were raised, and grew to love. The town with the annual Sugarbeet Festival, the place were we met. The place were it all started, our love. We loved one another so much, sometimes too much. Being his wife was never easy but it was joyful. All the good times we had, are now over. It's hard to believe that it is all over. He's gone, I'll never see him again. All because of that doctor that said his surgery could cure him. Edward, being Edward was so excited for the operation. All he ever wanted was to be normal, when he was so much more than normal. He was exceptional, but he never saw it. He was convinced that I would leave him, he was so wrong, it was he who left me. He left me but I can't stop and mourn. We have a beautiful little girl who needs me. She keeps asking where daddy is and I just can't tell her that he's gone. She diserves a daddy, that I can't give her. I decide that it is time to get over this so I stand up from the table and try to put the memories behind me. With a final 'I love you', I restart my life as a widow.
