Look how healthy she looks. The picture is from Sanibel Island a few years ago.
Click on the picture to enlarge it. That is a grouper basket she is holding.
Some of these are mundane. But that is the point. Daily life can be mundane. People love the small things that make up happiness.
Never again
to make her coffee.
Never again
to bring her her Washington Post and New York Times.
Never again
to sign our taxes together.
Never again
Christmas together.
Never again
to take her to the baseball games at National Park
to see The Washington Nationals. Late in life she developed a love for
baseball.
Never again
to drive her to National Airport or Dulles Airport for her trips to Chicago and NYC and Europe. And to drive to those two airports to pick her up on her return.
Never again
to go to the U.S. Botanic Garden at Christmas to see the model train exhibits for little children and their parents.
Never again
to go to the National Gallery of Art and walk through the halls surrounded by beauty and see the statue of The Dying Gaul.
Never again
to drive to Front Royal, Virginia and enter The Shenadoah National Park and Skyline Drive. And go to the restaurant of Skyland and have the blackberry ice cream pie.
Never again
to Sanibel Island and The Wildlife Sanctuary. To Schnappers Hots for a grouper basket. Grouper, fries, and cole slaw.
Never again to Bailey's for breakfast. Biscuit and sausage gravy for her or just some scrambled aggs.
Never again
to the Sanibel Library to use the computers there.
Never again
to Ric and Ellen's or Richard's or Charlie's or Elizabeth's or Johnnie's.
Never again to Paris.
Never again to Rome.
Never again to Sicily.
Never again to home.
Never again to the Safeway together.
Never again to Southampton.
Never again to watch the sunrises and sunsets from the beaches on Sanibel Island.
Never again
to go to National Airport and fly Air Tran/Southwest non stop to Fort Myers(in two hours and twenty minutes)and go to Enterprise and Rent A Car and drive to Publix grocery store and buy some fried chicken breasts for lunch and buy a large key lime pie to go. And then drive over the bridge to Sanibel Island and see the lighthouse.
