Time Passing

Everyone keeps asking me if the time is passing pretty fast.
It's a valid question because for most people, time passes too fast.
There isn't enough time in the day to get everything done.
But when your husband is gone, time seems to drag.
Looking back I can say we have gone through 5 of the 12 months.
But looking ahead, 7 months looks like a real long time.

Time drags because there aren't any outings,
no quiet talks
watching tv
making love
shopping
working around the house together
going to sleep together
waking up together.
There isn't anyone to come home to to rant about the day at work.

So much of what was part of daily life( much I probably took for granted) is now missing.

It's my job to try and fill up part of that hole.
Then time would pass a little faster I think.
Life would be a little fuller too.
That doesn't have to mean I'm moving on with my life.
But it would mean I'm not standing still.


another bit of musing
