In 42 years of marriage, I had never seen coordinates tattooed right below my husband’s hairline until I leaned over him to brush his hair before the viewing.
They would take me to a storage facility in the morning that contained a secret he had concealed from me for more than thirty years.
My age is sixty-seven. For forty-two of those years, I had been married to Thomas, and I believed I knew every freckle, scar, and inch of him.
I was mistaken.
And I didn’t know until after he passed away, when the funeral home allowed me to say farewell in secret prior to the viewing.
I was shown into the room by the funeral director.”Take as much time as you need, ma’am,” he remarked, shutting the door.
