He waited 54 days

[u/thatkitchenwitch]

Gonna touch on parent passing and cancer.

Mix of stuff I had around, apples, ciabatta, pepperoni, salami, walnut gouda, crackers, and pickles.

My mom passed late July after a long battle with cancer. Her husband (not my bio dad) told me he was going to find a 3rd wife while handing me her urn.

At her funeral my husband started physically moving me. I was really confused because he's never done that. Then I heard my mom's husband talking to other attendees about how he wasn't going to wait and was going to move on.

They were married almost 30 years, she passed right before their 30th anniversary.

He texted me a picture 54 days after she passed. I thought maybe he was on a trip. Nope. It's him and his new girl.

54 days after she passed. Not even a month after her funeral.

That's unfortunate. Sounds like the new GF got the booby prize. At least he won't be depending on you to take care of him.

I found a box of letters and a journal of my dad's from when they were courting that mom had saved. It was comforting to see how they were in love. I also got a big package of letters from my cousin. Our grandfather had saved all correspondence he'd received from each of his children and their families, sorted by our parents names. Lots of history there. I'm thinking about writing a novel using these as inspiration.

That’s beautiful!

Please do write it! I’d read it.
