Changing the Chorus
by T. Delaplain
Regardless of the tempo or cadence, the chorus remained the same, “I’m not ready.” Their coffee dates and long lunches were punctuated by stiff hugs and brief stolen kisses; neither knowing quite how to change their shared lyrics of grief.
The first bouquet arrived with a CD of arias, the second a sterling silver treble cleft. The third, a dozen roses and an embossed invitation.
“Dinner tomorrow night in Florence, pack an overnight bag, we can buy anything else you need. ❤️ Let us sing a new beginning.”
Tracey Delaplain, MD 
Beautiful, my dear. Just plain lovely.

Maybe I was projecting my desires but yes if T said, “Let’s go to Florence for dinner, and buy a new wardrobe while we’re there” …. I would be on that plane in a heart beat.

Yes, Dale is right. There really ought to be some “this is terrific and I love it” button we could push 🙂

I also think we need a button for “love the writing but hate the subject” Thank you.

I know, I’m kind of jealous of the date but grateful not to need to start over looking for a new life partner.

Florence sounds great. I’ve also been wanting to go to Venice since I saw it in a Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea episode (OK, so the filming was done at 20th Century Fox studios and the footage of Italy was B-roll, but STILL …).
