i bought a new
refrigerator a couple
of weeks ago
to replace the one
that had been
fixed twice and
was still leaking water
all over my floor.
a few days before
it was delivered
i looked at the
old one and
realized i needed to
clean it.
both the inside and the outside
needed cleaning
so i removed the
photos, wedding invitations,
recipes, and hand-written
lists of things
liz
wanted me to do
around the house
or pick up from
the grocery store.
and then…
underneath a magnet,
behind a torn piece
of paper with
an e-mail address and
phone number from
the past, there
was the card,
included with some flowers,
that i had
asked the
florist to send to
her
back in september 2007.
i was in india
at the time,
on another business trip,
during what would
be her 30th and
final birthday.
…
the new fridge
has been delivered
and the old one
has been removed.
many of the things
on the inside have
been thrown away.
but the stuff
on the outside…
the photos, wedding invitations,
recipes, and hand-written
lists of things for me
to do, are
on the new one.
and so is that
card.
