I bet you could fill in that blank
Who, but you could tell our story as well as I
The story of the last fifteen years
Who but you could…
list all the addresses of all the places we’ve ever called home
name the exact time our children were born
describe the pattern on our wedding bands
point out the pets,
friends,
places
in our photo albums
remember
long, desperate months at boot camp
our babies’ first steps, first teeth, first haircuts, first days of school
camping trips, fishing trips and sunburns
our first apartment, first Thanksgiving, first Christmas, first tree we decorated
scars, illnesses, surgeries, Pericarditis, Lyme Disease, miscarriage
the funerals of both our grandmothers
the thousands of meals, miles driven, movies watched, early mornings, late mornings, breaths, sighs, laughs, tears, hugs….
Only you could tell that story as well as I
but….
THE END

the end...?
you can really feel how much two people share over time. and what is left of all those shared experiences and feelings when things fall apart.
