I was touched by hubby's effort to take me away from my pc in order to see the "world outside". He said I have been so cooped up in my little room for so long that I needed a breath of fresh air. I had a suspicion though that he was trying to lift me out of my self pity after all the children have gone and I tried to find comfort in the internet and the music from the new karaoke that I bought again for the same reason that I needed a diversion.

So we went to an unfrequented place in our city, which used to be the site of the old abattoir, where he said, the setting sun was very visible. Too bad we missed a good view of the setting sun but caught the afterglow instead. True enough, I delighted in the smell of the sea and the fresh air and the sight of the stars coming out of the early evening sky. It kind of brought to mind the good old days when as young lovers at the University where we met, we would sit by the shores to watch the sunset. Then a sudden wave of realization struck me: has it been that long? Are we that old?
We left as the sky was darkening. Then we inspected some goods at a nearby department store. Back at home we had a light supper and he settled into his favorite place to watch the news and the movies while I chatted with my friends in the internet.
One friend of mine commented that our children's leaving has thrown us into each other's arms again, after years of working, surviving and probably forgetting each other. How true indeed. I wouldn't say this is the sunset or the afterglow of our lives, probably not just yet rather, just another chance of rediscovering each other.
