"You left without saying goodbye , and now you are telling me how to live . All my life ..."
The lady ranted and raved at her husband.
It was common.
Talking in her sleep.
What was uncommon is that it woke me up .
5.18 am
Two hours yet for kids to be woken up.
The old man wafted in and stared at me , with a sad smile .
I gave a reassuring smile back.
Then I was really jolted awake.
5.30 am
Must have dozed off.
I turned and looked at the doorway.
The curtain swayed, just so much. As if some one had just left.
The old man was dead. Six months ago.
