Beautiful story of relationships, love, and sacrifice. Frank was not a man of many words. But he showed and proved his love for his wife, Anna. The statement that Anna made about one never knows when it is there time to go, is certainly true. Embracing life to the fullest is one way often thought of as accomplishing this.
Thanks for sharing this story. A lovely, but sad read.

I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Sadness is a deep part of how we contrast emotion--the way that shadows are the only way we can make out shapes in the light, sadness is the only way we can know what joy feels like. This story came of a dream I woke from in tears. On describing the dream to my wife, she said, "You need to bottle that." So, with her help, I captured the dream in this story. She wrote the parts with Anna's point of view and thoughts.
Beautiful collaboration just like your character couple. I like the way you write that captures the essence of the moment as you describe the scene. I could picture the actions of the husband during the entire ride up to the moment he let go so that his wife could survive. It brought tears to my eyes the love he left with her asking for forgiveness that he would not be there for the remaining journey into their senior citizen life.
Poignant.
