The Gift

Last week, my latest essay, the Gift, was published by Role Reboot. I had been thinking a lot about how some of the things that my late husband did or said, and the actions he took, greatly affected my life down the road without him. He was an amazing man, and he gave me many, many gifts during our nine years together (not necessarily of the material type; neither of us were ever very big on those) and this essay explores one of those invaluable gifts.
