Same Sign Next Year
Same Sign Next Year
Your Signature
December 16, 2019
Greetings
For years they have sent out Christmas cards. The two of them. But this year, when you opened up their card, there was just one signature.
You thought maybe she would sign his name for him, just because.
You try to remember the last time you actually saw them together. Was it summer? A wedding? A graduation?
You think maybe their last Christmas together included a moment when the two of them were looking over an old ornament that had fallen off the tree more than once over the years and it had cracks and looked like a sure bet to fall off again and, this time, shatter for good.
And you imagine the two of them deciding to place that ornament on the mantle over the fireplace by the Christmas cards they received that year.
And you want to believe someone told you that she kept that ornament up there all year long and it's still there now as she writes Christmas cards and signs her name. --TK
