Good Morning My Love 

“Good morning my love.” She said as she walked into the room. It was not unusual to her to be the first one up in the morning. He was always a sleepy head.

She turned to the bed as if by habit. She looked at the empty bed and remembered that he was no longer there.

She had lost him to the fever that had ravaged the town. Scarlet fever was the name of the disease that took her beloved.  

It was the cruelest of things. He had caught the fever on their anniversary. Before they could head out on their trip he was too ill to stand. He was in the hospital that night and gone the next morning.

They had to sedate her until the funeral for her beloved was over. She couldn’t stop her tears and her heart from breaking.

They had been married for twenty five years. They had been each other’s first love. They had met as children and been friends their whole lives. There had never thought to love anyone but each other.

She sat on the bed and sighed. There was nothing for her to do sit by herself and be alone. She hated being alone. She grabbed the pillow and hugged it.

“Good bye my love. I will miss you every day until we are together again.”

She started to cry. The tears streamed down her face. She felt someone kiss her cheek. She touched her cheek and gasped.
