Seven years ago, I buried my husband of thirty-eight years.
When the funeral ended and everyone returned to their own lives, I went home to a house that had suddenly become unbearably quiet.
For months, I wandered from room to room, unsure what to do with myself.
Then one little boy brought laughter back into my life.
My grandson, Noah.
He was five when Grandpa died.
Every Wednesday, I picked him up after school.
Every Saturday, he stayed at my house.
