Caitlin: It's What You Make It

Today would be different. It was going to be The Day: the day he remembered.

He opened the curtains to the sun, noted each small movement. He thought, I've opened the curtains. What a beautiful day to remember!

He smiled at her in the kitchen, poured coffee. The smell of coffee! He could never forget that, or the sight of her returning smile. He tried to mark in his brain - my wife! Smiling!

They sat silently at the small table outside, mugs in hand. She ventured, "How're you feeling?"

He looked at her mutely. Shook his head.

Maybe tomorrow.
