Sam


he said when remembering the first time seeing her
"she was like an angel coming down the stairs"
she was 40some and getting divorced
she replied, "finish high school"
he finished high school
she replied, "finish college"
he finished college
she replied, "find a career"
he found a career

he commuted from a career hours away to see her
she replied, "you're killing yourself!"
they married for 30 years
until she died

40some years after her death and 75/80some years after first seeing her, with tearing eyes and a stopped heart, he said when remembering the first time seeing her
"she was like an angel coming down the stairs"
