There are moments in life that stay with you forever — not because they’re joyful, but because they change everything in an instant.
My name is Brian. I’m 61 years old, and this is my story — about love, loss, and a moment that shattered me just when I thought I’d found peace.
Eight years ago, I lost my first wife after a long illness. The house grew quiet after she was gone, and time became something I measured in silences rather than days.
For years, I lived alone.
My children stopped by once a month — not often, but enough to know I was still here. They’d leave some cash, drop off my medications, and be on their way.
I never blamed them. Life moves fast, and they had their own to manage.
But on rainy nights, when the drops hit the roof like distant memories, I felt the weight of it all — the absence, the loneliness, the ache of growing old without someone beside me.
Then came her again.
