She goes once a year, on the day he died. She gets up at sunrise, leaves Nathan sleeping in his bed, and drives to the splintered tree trunk by the edge of the road. She doesn't speak, and she doesn't stay long.

Her heels sink in the mud as she walks to the dead tree and lays down the bouquet. She stares for a moment at the crushed-in dent that killed the tree and her husband, then looks up, feels the breeze on her face.

A faint rainbow of color touches the horizon.

Wherever he is, she knows Daniel's happy.

Aww, I'm glad she has that peace.

[bookblather]

She's come to terms with it, yeah.

Thank you.

I like the last two lines, especially. This is very...I'm not sure what the right word is, exactly. But I like it very much.

[bookblather]

Thank you, very much. Entirely inspired by the picture of the day.

Oh, Rose Marie. I want to hug her, but I'm also happy that she's come to peace with her loss.

[bookblather]

Yeah. It helps, I think, that she knows Daniel must be happier where he is, because the last two years of his life were so awful.

Thank you.

This is sad, but it's peaceful, too. I'm glad she came to terms with her loss.

[bookblather]

Yeah. It helps her to heal at least.

Thank you.

You can really feel the loneliness in this one. It feels pretty ouchie, but yet I continue to hug it for some reason.

[bookblather]

Maybe because it isn't just loneliness? She's also glad that her husband isn't hurting anymore, even though it's a very faint undertone here.

Thank you!
