We are both widowers, but fate has given us another chance at happiness.

And he really hadn’t spent a penny on this wonderful surprise.

In one hand he was holding a package from the pharmacy, a package with my mom’s favorite treats and magazines peeking out, and in the other hand he was holding a bouquet of flowers.
