Polli, her name was Polli

 

Polli. My late wife’s name was Polli. Her real name was Pauline, she hated it, said it felt like an ill-fitting hat. I am going to start calling her Polli instead of my wife. I am not married. I was, but no more. If I am to make room for someone else, then I need to do so. I am no longer married. I have no wife. It does not diminish those 16 years we had. I will go to my grave with nothing but the deepest of love for her. But space must be made if I wish for someone else.
I want to move forward.

There is some sadness in that. But I want to move forward. It’s time.
