She is due to leave the hospital today, just waiting on her husband, Sam, to pick her up. They’ll be taking their newborn daughter, Samantha, home for the first time.
She’s extremely excited but a little nervous too. As a new mother she’s finding parenthood a little daunting and is unsure of her abilities, but Sam keeps assuring her she’s going to be a great mother to Samantha.
As she patiently waits, she takes a long hard look at her life and smiles with happiness. Her biggest dream was to be a wife and mother and she’s finally achieved both.
I was challenged to write a drabble of the word 'wife'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.
