***Excerpt***
He never thought he would fall so deeply in love again, after the loss of his beloved Trisha. At first, being with Gloria made him forget the loss of Trisha. Not only did he enjoy the physical company of being with a woman again, but also sharing the many intellectual and cultural interests Gloria had. He enjoyed escorting Gloria to events in Manhattan such as exhibits, concerts, and many theatre productions. The only downside to being with Gloria was that sometimes the memories of his dear wife made him feel guilty about this rekindled feeling for his first love. Eventually, he was able to ease up after recalling a poignant conversation with Trisha on their fifteenth anniversary only a few months before her fatal plane crash. Taking a back road, they went to celebrate their anniversary at a small town about fifty miles away from the complex. After having dinner at a restaurant, they stayed in the only hotel in town. Their room wasn’t much to speak of, but at least it was clean and fairly comfortable. That night, before going to sleep, Shawn looked at his beautiful wife wearing a sexy negligee and sighed.
“What’s wrong, dear,” she asked. “You have the saddest look I’ve ever seen on your face.”
“Well, my cherished one, I was just thinking that if one of us should die suddenly, I hope it is me for I could never be happy living life without you at my
side."Trisha became upset. “Oh no, Shawn. I would never want you to turn sad and melancholy when remembering our love. It would stop you from moving ahead with your life. Instead, I would wish fervently for you to follow the advice the Victorian poet Christina Rossetti gave in the last stanza of her poem,

‘Remember’
‘Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than you should remember and be sad.’
