If you were here, would we have chosen this house together?
Would we both be watching the news?
Would you love Clemmie and her crazy self?
Would you climb on the ladder to check the gutters?
Would you be wearing multiple layers 'cause it's cold in this house?
Would you chat with the neighbors and befriend the new babies?
Would you and the neighbor share hedge trimming duties?
Would we sit on this sofa and marvel at how great our children have turned out?
Would you help with house projects for our children?
Would we discuss how grateful we are for the good things and how sad we are for the hard things in our extended family's lives?
Would we travel to see our children and explore their cities?
Would you follow me around the house like you always planned to do when you retired?
Would you go on fun adventures with me? What would those be?
Goodness.
Life sure is sumpthin' itn't it?
Miss you.
