Missing him
As I lay there, memories of my husband flooded my mind. I missed his laugh, his advice—everything about him. More than ever, I wished he were here to guide me through all of this.

I told her where I was and briefly explained my situation, leaving out the secret for now. We talked about work for a while, and then I mustered the courage to ask if she knew of any places for rent. Her willingness to help gave me a sense of hope.
