Accidentally In Love
|
Accidentally In Love (... WARNING.. If you're not into emotional, short stories - don't read this one ...) It was miserably cold, windy and snowy and just an abominable spring day in Montreal. His bulky, calf high snow boots, pulled him forward as he trudged along that slushy path through the park, and toward that bench. The wool tuque he wore was firmly drawn over his ears, with barely a tuft of his grey hair poking through. His puffy winter coat was zipped up to its highest points and his pockets were filled with his partially frozen hands. The gloves he wore, were not doing the job they were intended for. The frosted glasses perched on his nose, were brushed with sleet and he hunched his shoulders lower, as he approached 'his' bench. When he arrived, he was surprised to find someone sitting there - an older woman, perhaps his age and much like himself, she was bundled, up to her eyes. She looked at him as he slowed his progress and politely, she moved to the far end of that wooden bench. He nodded to her, sat down and tried to straighten his posture, up against the backrest. She nodded towards him , remained quiet, then turned, and gazed straight ahead. They both hunkered there in silence (neither saying a word) , watching the snow fall and listening to the distant din of city traffic, the erie echo of far away car horns, and a wailing police siren. Periodically, a car would hurtle it's way along the road in front of them, and past that large, old maple tree, and then curve its way round the bend. Neither bench partner looked at the other. Then, as if choreographed, they both stood up at the same time, and slowly and apprehensively headed along that path - in the same direction. They looked at each other and smiled meekly. "It's miserable weather, isn't it?", he declared shyly. "It's our typical spring here, right?, she acknowledged. Then - she quickly added, while pointing with a mitted hand ; " There is a coffee shop along that road there, would you like to join me for a coffee? I think we could both use one. " He looked at her, and agreed. "You're right about that. I'd love one! " One year later ( to the day), and coincidentally - the weather hadn't changed from the previous spring. However, this time, they both walked up that path in the park - together . Her hands were firmly locked around his arm and he gently clasped them, in his. Before long, they found 'their' bench and sat down. She leaned her head against his chest as his arms grasped her far shoulder, pulled her close and shielded her against the blowing wind and snow. Soon however, tears welled up in her eyes, as she looked up into his. She inhaled deeply, choked back a sob and sighed. He looked down at her and lovingly, tenderly, kissed her. Tears spilled down his cheeks, as he closed both his eyes. One year ago, they first met and had fallen in love. They had rarely felt such happiness in their lives. As a consequence of that accidental meeting, they had managed to repair their broken hearts and had finally found a partner with whom, they could share the love they had to offer. Love they had bottled up and thought, was lost forever. Fourteen ago on this day, her teenaged , and his teenaged , were killed on that road, right there - just by that maple tree - when their cars accidentally collided together. Snow and tears blinded them both, as they hugged each other steadfastly. Only the sound of snowflakes falling, filled the air around that park bench. They held each other tighter than one might think possible - tighter than you could believe... afraid to let go ! ©August 2018 Paul P. .........................................................

This might be a topic that is a little to dark or sad for this site. But it was something that was on my mind. I have suffered losses in the past. And with each one I've coped differently. One that was difficult was my uncle dying - the day after we had all spent the day together. It was messed up. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Good morning Paul, this was a sad but great read today, I have lost so many people in my lifetime. But the hardest one for me was my grandfather, he was the most wonderful man as he would pick me up every Friday afternoon at my school and I would spend the weekends with him and my grandmother. This man did so many wonderful things in his life time and when I was a teenager he got alzheimers ( the most horrific disease a person can get in my opinion ). I watched his health fail for years, going outside leaving the fenced in yard and then we would have to go and search for him finding him sometimes in the most horrible places. My grandmother worked so very hard taking care of him, it just hurt my heart so very much as I watched him forget who all his loved ones were around him. I am sorry but I am tearing up here so I am going to leave it at that.. Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Yes the saddest time for me was when my husband 61 years old and of 28 years together passed away in june of 2016 and 8 months later I lost my only daughter in Feb of 2017 she was only 43 at the time would have been 44 yrs old in March..Devastating? you bet but today with the amount of paperwork and people pushing to get it done who has time to grieve properly? the goverment said it would take up to two years for everything to get settled and so far its taken over that ..so when does one find time to grieve? well its anyones guess..

There are so many types of losses. A neighbour, a work colleague, a long lost friend, parents and relatives of friends. But there's nothing as deep and painful as the loss of a family member. As we age, we start to experience more and more losses. It never gets easier but somehow we find a way to 'get through it'. One that has had a profound impact on me and those left behind was the sudden and unexpected death of my Mom, 15 years ago. Although I think about her every day, this year found me especially sad and reflective as she would have turned 90 in July. I put on some of her favourite music and got out all the photo albums. Flipping through the pages, instantly transported me back to those shared special moments and I could feel a smile gently forming. I had considered writing a blog in tribute to her and all Mothers but just couldn't find the right words. One of the toughest aspects about losing my Mom was watching the rapid decline of my Father and taking over as his caregiver. My parents had been together since he was 20 and she was 23. I don't know if he had been hiding his own health issues or if his heart simply broke as he died 2 years later. Signing off to go wipe away my newest tears.

I seem to have hit a nerve with this one. I can be funny, and witty. But with this one I wanted to evoke emotion! And I succeeded! This story, for me - does it! Even if I affected you... You can still say hello... You don't have to share a story.. Share a hug! ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O
