For the third time in as many minutes, Joan Sample glanced toward the
kitchen clock. She’d expected to hear from her youngest son by now. She’d
invited Nick to dinner, and prepared his favorite dish, even though it was
her birthday. He hadn’t responded, and she wasn’t sure if he’d show or not.
The dining room table was set, and the chicken enchiladas were warming in
the oven, along with Spanish rice and refried beans. Joan wasn’t fond of
chicken enchiladas. So this was what it had come to—she had to bribe her
son to visit. Steve, her eldest, had a good excuse, seeing that he lived in the
Phoenix area. He did call, at least.
Slumping down in her favorite overstuffed chair in the family room, she
reached for the television remote. The program was one of the Sunday
weekly news reviews that she routinely watched. Talking heads. Only Joan
didn’t hear a word of what they were saying, and furthermore, she didn’t
much care. Rarely was there anything good to report.
Mother’s Day had been the week before, and her sons had sent a floral
bouquet of calla lilies and white roses along with a box of chocolates. At
least they’d remembered how much she enjoyed flowers. It was bad luck
that her birthday fell a mere seven days later. Steve and Nick seemed to feel
they’d done their duty with the flowers and chocolates and covered both
Mother’s Day and her birthday.
Her sons’ lack of caring, showing little love or appreciation, wouldn’t
bother her if only Jared was alive. Her husband never forgot her on
Mother’s Day and tried to make her birthday extra-special. Even after four
years, she grieved. Her entire life went up in flames the minute Jared was
pronounced dead.
She’d recently heard that the dentist who purchased Jared’s practice was
doing well. That should have pleased her, because it assured her that Jared’s
patients had made a smooth transition. Many had been with Jared for years,
and since she’d worked in his office as his receptionist and bookkeeper, she
was on a first-name basis with several of them.
Joan had loved working with her husband. It would be difficult for some
couples to spend 24/7 together, but not them. They’d made a great team.
They’d always been close and were each other’s soulmates. Her life was
empty without Jared. Stark. Void. Dark. With him gone, it felt as though she
had no purpose, no incentive, no reason to get out of bed in the morning.
