The Flowers He Sent Before Goodbye

Cancer Win

Two days after my partner’s funeral, someone knocked on the door.

I was sitting on the kitchen floor when it happened. Not because I had fallen, and not because I was searching for anything. I had simply opened the cupboard to get a glass, seen his favorite coffee mug on the bottom shelf, and discovered that standing had become too difficult.

The mug was dark blue, with a thin crack running through its handle. I had tried to throw it away twice. Both times, he had rescued it from the trash.

“It still works,” he would say.

“It’s a mug, not a loyal employee.”

“That mug has been with me longer than you have.”
