“But I didn't frame it; I put into an envelope and sealed it and stuffed it far back into a corner drawer of a filing cabinet. It's there, just in case one of these days I start to lose her.

Maybe one of these days, I will not be able to listen to the sound of snow falling and hear her footsteps.”
