I recently came across a request for tiny love stories from the New York Times. The headline reads:
Tell Us Your Love Story. Just Keep It Really Short. We’re looking for all the emotion that’s fit to print — in no more than 100 words.
This is what I submitted. Will it get published?
THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES
A tiny spark grew to flames.
I proposed. You said yes. In 1992, we said “I do.”
As partners we created a family and a lifetime of dreams. God blessed us with a million magical moments and turned them into magical memories.
Beginning and ending each day with you and seeing the fire in your eyes was electric. How ironic that electricity took your life.
For 52 years you lived by your motto to “MakeTym”. You made time for your family, above all else. It’s been 18 months since you’ve been gone. While your legacy lives on, I miss the fire in your eyes.
