Author and husband
When we met
Your smile lit up, mirroring mine
I remember.
I was nervous
You made me laugh
I remember.
We danced a little, drank a little
We shared our hopes and dreams
I remember.
It was late. I was tired
I didn't want to leave your side, you didn't want to leave mine,
So we stayed together.
I remember
When we met.
Dedicated to my late husband, pictured above.
Ted Lacksonen, March 1, 1968-August 4, 2024. May he rest in peace.
