I sold everything I have at the age of 77 to purchase a ticket to visit my true love, but something unexpected occurred on the flight.<\/p>\n

I sold all I owned. The records, the chair, and the ancient automobile. Even the watch that I received upon my retirement. For a single ticket. Just one way.<\/p>\n

I reconnected with my ex-girlfriend, whom I hadn\u2019t seen in about 50 years after we broke up when we were young and stupid. But she was the only person I ever loved and thought about. I believed she had forgotten about me. Despite having a son and getting married to someone else, it found out that she hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I now have my darling woman\u2019s address. In response to my letter, her son stated that she recalls every detail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I clutched the picture to my chest as the plane took off. We\u2019re still youthful and laughing along the riverbank. Her hand is in mine. I knew every curve of her smile by heart, even if the photo is old and faded. I never saw her again after our final meeting, and I had no idea how she had changed in appearance.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

My phone vibrated when we were in the air, as the jet moved into the clouds. I took my time looking. Already, my heart was beating too rapidly. However, I opened it. After my world fell apart, I\u2019m at a loss for how to continue living.<\/p>\n

I apologize. Mom passed away last night. She waited. I\u2019m eagerly awaiting you.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t experience any pain. Nothing except emptiness. As though my entire being just fell silent. It grew darker. How my head fell back is beyond me. All I could hear were footsteps, screaming, voices, and hands on my hand.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Later, I woke up. on the earth. I\u2019m surrounded by strange faces. I got water from someone. Someone inquired about my well-being. I gave a nod. I was at a loss for words. Just one thing:<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201cAnyway, I\u2019ll get there. I made a pledge.<\/p>\n

And I arrived. purchased a modest bouquet of wildflowers. visited the graveyard. discovered the stone bearing her name. sat beside it. laid the picture down. The ticket, too.<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201cI apologize. I\u2019m running late.<\/p>\n

I just sat after that. listened to the breeze. And the quiet. She is present. I was aware.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way it is; we constantly believe that we have time to give each other a hug or a kiss, and we part ways for trivial reasons without realizing it, and by the time it happens, it\u2019s usually too late. Despite waiting for our rendezvous for nearly my whole life, I never got to see my lover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
