Intersection of the Dead

After two weeks of waiting, Ian received his new eyeglasses today. He was so relieved to be able to see perfectly again, and excitedly showed off his stylish frames as he settled into the passenger seat of our car. We began the last leg of my delivery route, my husband relishing in his new and improved vision. After queuing a song from his playlist, which we Bluetooth through the car's speaker system, Ian spoke matter-of-factually: "I can see more dead people with my new glasses."

All Hallows’ Eve

The night before Halloween (All Hallows' Eve), Ian joined me driving on my delivery route. It was a brisk, fall evening; the air was clear, and trees burst with color. Golden leaves floated on he gentle breeze like sparse confetti, then tumbled along the road near the gutter with the rush of passing cars. We were having a fun night—orders were good, and we were enjoying each other's company.

Last Rites

When my husband, Jeep, passed away from congestive heart failure in August of 2017, I did not know a local priest in our home town in Texas who would come to the home to do a posthumous last rites ritual, as Jeep was Catholic and I knew this would be important for his spirit's journey. It wasn't until my move to Washington state, and a new marriage to Ian, that I would be given a chance to perform this blessing. During that time, beginning in January of 2022, Jeep began to visit us regularly, and developed a deep friendship with my new husband.
