What about the Widowed Parents?

She was just opening her eyes this morning when Steve walked back into the bedroom.
"Did you ever watch The Brady Bunch"? Steve asked
She replied with a confused and sleepy "Yes."
"Did they ever talk about the widowed parents?"
She must have looked bewildered.
"You know, the girls' dad, the boys' mom ... Didn't they ever talk about them? Didn't the kids want to remember them? Why didn't they ever talk about the parents who died?"
She did not know the answer to his question, but she truly loved him for thinking enough to ask it.

She

She is a goddess in pink pajamas, lying on her grandmother's antique bed. The fan gently whirls, spitting out a cooling brush of air.

She is a goddess - imagining that she can summon lightening bolts through her fingertips and bring peace with a touch.
