Slowly the elderly woman brought her rocker to a stop along with her dreams. The snow globe had to be a gift from her daughter, Helen. It was just a coincidence that it brought back long buried memories of a love that was never meant to last. Seth Durham had moved out of her life as quickly as he entered it. That one sparkling moment of time had been just a twinkling instant best left as a remembrance of the past. The many years she had spent with Elmer had proven beyond doubt that they had been meant to spend their lives in wedded bliss. Petty Officer Third Class Durham was just a tease, something that was never meant to be.150Please respect copyright.PENANAaHlYnJn5I7

Sighing heavily, the widow of three years rose from her seat to prepare yet another lonely meal in the course of many lonely meals that had become a part of her life. Swallowing heavily as she contemplated her grilled cheese sandwich and bowl of tomato soup, Eloise contemplated the years ahead of her...all the days the same from the moment of Elmer’s passing until her own time to leave the mortal coil. Oh how she wished he could have hung on for just a few more years.150Please respect copyright.PENANAysOiQy5tbF

Picking up her soup spoon, Eloise was surprised to hear the doorbell ring for a second time. This time the voice that called out UPS seemed older and deeper than the previous voice. Rising to her feet, she made her slow way to the door. Was it another gift from one of her children? At least the distance between them hadn’t dampened their need to stay in touch, she thought as she reached for the door handle.150Please respect copyright.PENANAXH3sCdqWEw

Confronted by a man whose face was hidden by a mass of red roses, Eloise stepped back in astonishment. “What was going on?” she wondered to herself. Surely this man was at the wrong door. Perhaps he was searching for one of the other widowed ladies who lived in the complex.150Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ4ejQxlc2

“Merry Christmas!” the man’s voice bellowed out as he moved the long-stemmed flowers away from his face.150Please respect copyright.PENANAIdkcvDpVls

The playful hazel eyes and the cockeyed smile were oh so familiar! “Seth Durham,” Eloise gasped as she received the two dozen roses into her opened arms.150Please respect copyright.PENANA7cWbf2Dvpe

“I came back for you, darling,” the man exclaimed, with tears flooding his eyes, “but you were already married.”150Please respect copyright.PENANAKP04qgAiiN

“I waited for you to come back,” Eloise choked as she fell into Seth’s embrace.150Please respect copyright.PENANAgrXNEIfTl5

“Well, I’m here now,” the Navy veteran exclaimed as he was welcomed into the condo. Picking up the music box from the table next to the rocker, he twisted the key on the bottom and shook it until the snow began to fall around the couple in on their sleigh ride.150Please respect copyright.PENANA5qLmYi4VfJ
