Laurie Elizabeth Contreras
At one of my favorite fountains at Piazza Navona in Roma trying to ignore the second hand smoke behind her.
This morning we woke up at 4:00 a.m. to get a taxi back to Roma’s Leonardo da Vinci Airport for Laurie’s flight back to Camarillo. Everything went smoothly and I was able to walk with her all the way to the security check point/metal detectors before we had to part ways. At the last, I waved to her on the other side of the security entrance, blew her a kiss and turned to go to my terminal to catch my plane back to Catania. Suddenly I was hit by a big wave of negative emotion knowing I wouldn’t see her again for two months, it didn’t sit well. We will be together again in mid-May when I fly back to California for our youngest son Mike’s college graduation but that seems a long way away right now.
After 43 years together, the last 37 as a married couple, I guess I do really still love her!
