Thoughts in a Spa

Originally Published 03/18/2024

Basking in the warmth of the hot water jets I try and let go. The nagging guilt, someone I was once very close to gently passed away in her sleep from some infection. No chance to say goodbye or share another moment…

Not even 52 years old, the first woman I was close to after my first exwife at the time. The first woman I knew intimately since my first ex as well.

She was destroyed since her boyfriend/soulmate passed away 2 years ago (hell of a nice guy). She did what she needed to do to survive and it took a toll likely the ultimate one, her health and life.

I’d rather remember her as she lived than how she died. She was a brilliant fun sarcastic bubbly gal that kept me on the edge of my toes 18 years ago. Stunning green eyes, gentle fair face with a smile that could melt the ice caps. A passionate lover and all in all great friend.

We had a lot of fun while we dated for that small fun window in time. I hope you and your beloved are reunited in whatever next awaits us all. Goodbye, gorgeous, and rest in peace. ❤️❤️❤️

      • I’m glad you had her in your life. It’s a breath of refreshment too that you were not only friends, but lovers too, yet your friendship remained after the intimacy stopped. Hats off to you and I’m so glad she’s reunited with her boyfriend and parents.

        • Thank you it’s been a tough day today.

          I posted my first short story and it’s blatantly obvious that nobody’s reading it.

          I guess I gotta stick to my strong points…

          • I’m sorry your day has been so rough.

            Which short story? I feel like I may have missed something. It’s weird, your posts come into my primary email and into my social, so gosh, I hope I didn’t miss one.

            • I have a short story. I broke into nine pieces it’s called, running out of gas and other misadventures.

              Story about my last marriage that happened about five years ago.

              Haven’t gotten any comments on it yet so I feel like no one’s reading it. I’m getting a ton of likes, but you know how those come dime a dozen.

              Thank you for saying so. I know you do read what I write and I appreciate it Dawna, as I do with everything you write.

              😊
