Till death do us part

Call me a nitwit (or slow), but it was only last week I realised I am no longer married. I said it, back then in May 2004: "till death do us part". But I really did not think about the after death-part.

Out of the blue, just the other day, Mik asked me: "mum, you reckon you will marry again some day?"

No. I can´t imagine me ever getting married again, as I made that very special promise to my very special someone almost 16 years ago and that´s it. And yes, I am still wearing the wedding ring Marco gave me. Somehow it would just feel wrong to take it off.

I believe Mik was happy with my answer.

It did get me thinking though. I mean, I am alone. My very special someone is no longer here. Will I ever be able to take off my wedding ring? I don´t think so. I guess. Right now. I can´t imagine ever feeling the same way about someone, that strong feeling of love that encompasses all and beyond.

Is it strange that I still feel married?

Natuurlijk blijf je eeuwig getrouwd met Marco, wat er ook verder op je pad komt. Hij blijft gewoon je man, je enige eerste echtgenoot dat kan niemand of niets meer veranderen. Nee dat is niet gek :-)
