Empty Pillow

Her pillow is empty. Well, actually it is gone. An empty space that once was filled. I miss having to stay on my side of the bed. I miss saying, "have a good day" while she lies there asleep. A box a kleenex has taken the place of her pillow.

The empty space reminds me of when we have shared much smaller spaces in so many rooms past. Smaller rooms, smaller beds.

Now I have a whole house to myself. Jan says,"Have you gotten a cat yet?" Somehow I don't think it would fill these empty spaces.
