IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES

grief comes and goes , whatever people say . surprisingly , it'd taken place while she was at work , of all places . a school wasn't that appropriate to start thinking about her husband's death , but it had come while she was having lunch - a whole thing that she really didn't want to get into , but , as she had taken a deep inhale , shaky breath as she's trying to get back to her normal self .

marjorie wasn't happy with herself , considering that she was venting to someone who didn't deserve it , at least to her , he didn't . her facial expression softening up as she's listening to his words , trying to crack a smile at what he was saying , but knowing that he was attempting to make her feel better - maybe that's what she needed . a distraction from very few things that settled in her head . " sometimes nurses need some guidance , too . " she lets out in the softest voice that she has , knowing that he means well , of course he does . " but i know what you're saying , i'm just .. thinking about too many things . "

he smiled at her admittance that sometimes nurses need help, too. "i understand how you could feel like that, but, your husband loved you, yeah?" he said gently, his eyes soft, looking over his glasses. when the small nod came, he continued, pushing his glasses back up on his nose.

"if i had been smart enough to marry, and i passed away, the very last thing i would want for my wife would be to sulk around and be sad. i would want her to be happy, no matter what it took... whether it was staying single, just dating, whatever..." a small shrug and he shook his head as he poked his fork at the pieces of lettuce in his tupperware container.
