My husband, 46 years by jusylee72 100 Word Flash Fiction contest entry |
|
I want to see my husband of 46 years in the hospital. "Covid", they call it. 19....... . Like there have been 18 others. I was out of town when he was admitted, seeing my grandchildren. "Let me see him", I say, "It will help him." Security won't let me. Too dangerous they say. I call him. "I'll be fine," interspersed with coughing, "I'll see you soon. Stay home dear. I will be fine" I want to see him. Remind him of our life. A brief phone call, "We're Sorry." I see him at his funeral. My husband of Forty-six years.
