Habit
It was a bit like writing the old year in the date column in the first few days of the new year. Or still calling him your boyfriend months after you married him. Or brushing the non-existent hair off your shoulder the day after you chopped it. Or blowing into your mug of coffee to cool it long after it has turned lukewarm. She still referred to him in the present tense. And included him when she made dinner for four.
or the past seems too painful and you can't seem to forget the hurt and pain thatit brought and you want to carry it along as a reminder..
ReplyDeletethe past is always a really strong thing.
