Thirty-one

 Peggy,

    Yeah, it's not the death but the circus after that is the hardest to get through. For me anyway.

    Bouncing around so much must have been hard too. How did you have the time and heart to see your husband? When I first met her, I knew in the blink of an eye it would be her. It was one of my trips to Illinois, I had to do some research at the library where she happened to be working. I was walking through the stacks looking for what I needed, she was shelving in an aisle I wondered down. Just a look. I didn't stare, ok, I was frozen and she asked me if I needed help. That was it.

 Peggy,     I hope you still write.      I don't mean to be one of your patients, sorry, clients. Life is just so tiring. And it's good to hear (yeah, I know) you finally laugh. Not good to hear you are alone, again. Here I am.     Sorry, about this part.     I look at her face every night. Remembering her voice, the feel of her skin.      You haven't said much about your family. Your younger sister was always kind to my wandering, immature, ignorant soul. I don't know that I like the word soul. I haven't found one (word) that I like, that fits, yet.
