“Loving David was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. It was effortless. I fell more in love with him every day to the point where I thought I would burst. I’m so fortunate to have known a love like that, even for a little while.” Charlotte looked at her daughter. “And of course, the greatest gift---- little Frankie. David will live on through her smile, her grace, and her spirit. I’ve been doubly blessed.”
A small breeze whispered by. Charlotte said a silent prayer before she opened the lid. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she held the box up to meet the breeze. David’s ashes left the box in a perfect swirl and flew over the lake until they vanished.
Karen sighed and shook her head, an ironic laugh bubbling beneath her words. “Still beautiful.”
Charlotte chuckled. “Indeed.”
The End

A big thank you to my family for all of their support.
Dedicated to my first friend, my best friend,
My Mom
