It took a few minutes to sink in, but when the woman working at the counter where I bought Steve’s anniversary gift said, “Wow! This is the second one of these I have sold today!” I realized that I KNEW who that other person was. Sad. Just sad. This is what knowing someone for over half your life gets you.
