I was awakened by the sound of people walking down the street outside our house, presumably coming home from a night out. I looked at the neon numbers on the clock over on Jade’s side of the bed, as I did so the numbers clicked over to show the time was two-thirty in the morning.I turned over onto my back and stared at the ceiling. Jade’s soft gentle breathing was the only other sound to be heard that late at night, or should that be early morning, now that the revellers had gone out of earshot. My mind was full of unclear and confused thoughts and I knew I would not be able to go to sleep but I tried anyway attempting to clear my mind but the memories kept invading my thoughts.I carefully slid out of bed and wrapped myself in my robe and as quietly as possible opened the bedroom door. Stepping outside Anadolu Yakası Escort the bedroom the floorboard just the other side of the door creaked as I turned and slowly closed the door putting one hand on the door to slow its motion as the other hand turned the handle to try and avoid the click of the latch as it came into contact with the door frame. I walked slowly down the stairs and entered the living room quietly asking the virtual assistant to turn on the lights. The lights came up and I glanced at the photos neatly arranged on a unit against the wall. There were various scenes of the children and at one end of the collection a rather beautiful shot I had taken of Jade a few months earlier where she was looking off into the distance. I looked at the other Anadolu Yakası Escort Bayan end and stared at my Louise, a classic headshot making her look like some 1950s movie star.“Don’t judge me,” I murmured and waved a hand at her photo, “It’s your fault you should have stayed, fought it, never left me and the kids.” I flopped onto the sofa and ran my hands over my face, “What am I saying, there was nothing you could have done, nothing anybody could have done. It doesn’t get any easier you know, even after all these years.”I continued to look at the photo, “I am happy again, you said before you went that I would eventually find somebody else, never thought it would happen, never wanted it to happen but it has.”I fell silent and just sat staring at Louise’s Escort Anadolu Yakası photo. I heard the door opened and the soft padding of bare feet as they walked across the wooden floor before a hand touched my shoulder, “Hey, what are you doing up, I could hear voices who were talking to?”I looked up at Jade, “I was talking to myself, actually that is not true I was talking to,” I couldn’t say her name suddenly, her name caught in my throat, I waved at the photo.“Why,” there was a puzzled look on her face, “You ok?”I smiled at Jade, “Yes, yes it is nothing, don’t mind me, it just.” I paused, “I always get a bit melancholy at this time of year, today is the day she died.”Jade said nothing but came around the side of the sofa and sitting down hugged me, placing her head on my shoulder.“She told me to move on you know, said I had a right to be happy in my old age, and I am you know.”Jade kissed me, “Good to hear, it must have been hard at the time.”“It was difficult for the kids, I had to be strong, in that last year…..once we knew the treatment was not working…..I wanted……I wanted it to end, be over. Does that make me a bad person?”
