Halloween: A Wife's Gift



When I was a boy it was hard to even think about being

married, much less married for twenty years. I was

only a young man when I met Janet, barely nineteen. I

had gone to a party with a friend on Halloween, but I

didn't know anyone. It was an older crowd than I was

used to. My buddy was dating the hostess's younger

sister, so as soon as we got there, he split on me to

be with her.

A girl dressed as a pirate asked me to dance. Even

though we were both masking, there was something about

her that I found alluring. She was forward enough to

ask me to dance, but she was shy and allusive too.

The pretty pirate was janet and from the moment of

that dance, we were together. We left the party with

her sister and her sister's date to get some coffee.

We talked for hours, learning about each other, shyly

flirting with one another. She was 23 and fresh out of

college in her first real job. I had quit school after

three semesters and was a bookstore manager at the

mall. It was my first real job too. Even though the

pay was lousy and the hours were long, I thought I was

doing something special.

Neither one of those jobs lasted in the long run, but

our relationship did. On the third night I knew her,

Janet took me to her apartment. It was mostly empty

because she spent almost all of her time at her

parent's house. I remember looking in her refrigerator

and there was nothing but a carton of orange juice and

a bottle of honey. That night I willingly lost my

virginity, but I unintentionally found the love of my

life, the one woman that I wanted to grow old and gray

with.

We lived together for a year and a half. We were never

apart. We married. Four years later we had our only

child. I was in the delivery room when they induced

labor. I saw Lisa being born. I held her in my arms

and she was quite small. It was one of the best days

of my life - of our young lives.

It wasn't always easy, those twenty years. We went

through ups and downs, but through everything we had

each other. We worked. We raised our daughter. We

lived simple lives that were centered on our mutual

love and respect.

Shortly after our twentieth anniversary, janet began

experiencing discomfort during intercourse. We had

always had an active sex life. I can't say we were the

most adventurous couple, but we both most enjoyed

pleasing the other. We fulfilled each other's physical

needs as easily as we fulfilled each other's emotional

and spiritual needs. We had always just seemed to -

fit- together.

Her OB/GYN ran test. After a week or so, they did a

biopsy. janet had pre-cancerous uterine cells. In June

she had minor surgery, scrapping the lining of the

uterus and removing a few polyps that concerned her

doctor. They put her on medication. She recovered.

In September, the symptoms reoccurred. Her doctor told

Janet that the only alternative was to have a

hysterectomy.

We were worried, of course, but it's a common

procedure. I thought we were happy with just Lisa, but

in the days before the operation, janet began to mourn

all the children she had never borne and now, never

would. After a while though, we laughed uneasily about

it together. We were both in our forties. Neither one

of us had really wanted children that late in life.

I was holding janet in our kitchen several days before

her surgery, just silently expressing our love for

each other. Lisa was in the dining room where we could

see her, gathering her books for school. She is long

and willowy like her mother used to be. I never knew

her mother at sixteen, but at twenty-three she had

looked a lot like Lisa looked right now. She was tall,

thin and graceful. Lisa could have been a dancer but

had chosen to play piano and take voice lessons.

"I think the one we had turned out pretty nice. She

reminds me of her mother, don't you think?" I asked

Janet, both of us looking at her daughter.

"I don't remember being that thin and I don't think I

was ever that beautiful." janet had gained some weight

but she was always that beautiful to me. Over the

years she had gone from a 34B to a 38D as she had

gained weight and aged, but I had loved her body and

her breast through all their changes. She was a

lovely, passionate woman and she was my wife.

I remember sitting in the waiting room with her

family. I hate hospitals and was nervous about janet

being in surgery, but everything was fine so far. I

had seen her as they were giving her the initial

injection to put her under. I had kissed her gently.

Her last words for me were not to worry. That was

funny for both of us. janet was always the worrier.

One moment everything was fine, there in the waiting

room. Then I felt it. It was like a sudden wave of

sadness and loss washing through me. The depth and

abruptness of it overwhelmed me, like a sudden punch

in the midsection. I knew, without knowing why, that

something was terribly wrong. As I began running to

find Janet, the nurse that administered her injection

was coming toward me. She grabbed my hand and led me

to a set of surgical doors and told me to wait. The

doctor had to talk to me.

When he walked out, there was so much blood. At first,

it reminded me of the day that Lisa was born, but this

was different. He said something about complications.

They were still trying. Don't give up hope.

As he walked back through the doors, I slid down the

wall until I couldn't slide any deeper. The doors to

surgery swung back and forth three times until they

stopped. I remember it more clearly than a million

other more important facts that I have forgotten over

the years. The doors swung back and forth three times

before they stopped.

Whatever the doctor thought he was working on, it

wasn't Janet. janet was gone. It was as clear and as

profound a thought as I had ever had. Wherever she

was, she wasn't here. And a part of my soul went with

her.

I held together for a while. I arranged the Mass. I

bought the plot. I spoke to the lawyers that Janet's

sisters wanted to hire. They said someone had screwed

up. There would be damages. I got mad for about a

minute and a half and broke some things. Then the gray

numbness returned. Nothing that lawyers could do would

bring janet back. I told them to do whatever they

needed to do. They could do anything except ask me to

care.

I wasn't a very good father just then, I suppose. Lisa

and I mourned together once. I held her that day and

for just a moment, I cared about someone else. Her

hair was a rich black, her dress a deep, royal blue

and her nose was as red as mine from the tears. But as

soon as the moment ended, all of the color drained

from my life again and the gray numbness returned.

Lisa stayed with a friend one night and I drank myself

into a stupor. But it didn't help. Neither did the

sleeping pills. My doctor prescribed anti-depressants

but somehow it seemed wrong to take them. They

couldn't fill the emptiness in my soul.

On October 31, our parish had a Mass in preparation

for All Saints Day on November 1. The priest had made

a special point in inviting me. It was a Mass to honor

all those that had died this year. We had never been

particularly devout, but janet had gone to Mass more

often, especially on holidays. It sounded like

something she would have gone to. I felt I needed to

go in her place.

But there was no consolation there. Even when they

read her name, I didn't feel anything. janet wasn't

there. Nothing that the priest said brought her back

to life for me or filled the emptiness. It was worse

than being numb. I left, vowing to never go back.

I went home and Lisa was preparing to go to a

Halloween party. She asked me if it was alright if she

went. I should have cared I suppose, but I couldn't. I

sat in our den as the sun set, watching the shadows

cross the floor as night fell. The sounds of her

preparation floated through the house: a bath running,

a hair dryer and an occasional fragment of an aria in

Italian that she would sing. I heard without

listening. I sat without thinking.

She came bounding down the stairs on her long legs and

as soon as she saw me she started fussing that I was

sitting in the dark. It was too much like something

her mother would have done. My grief threatened to

overwhelm me once more, but I pushed it back. My

daughter didn't need to see it anymore. Not when she

was finally going out again. I realized I hadn't heard

her singing since before.

Lisa hugged my neck in the darkness and told me not to

wait up. I wish I could have given her more. I had

been such a terrible father lately. But I felt too

empty to give anything else.

I should show some interest in her life, I thought. At

least I could fake it, for her mother's sake.

"Will you be late?"

"Not too late, Dad. Mary will drive me home."

"What are you wearing to the party?"

"The only thing I could throw together at the last

minute. I didn't know if I would feel like going. Turn

the light on by your chair and tell me if it looks

OK."

It wasn't an exact match. She had on the same black

leotards and the same type of black body suit. She had

made the hat a little different, but the felt eyepatch

was about the same.

The pirate that stood before me could have been the

same one I had met twenty-two years before. If she had

asked me to dance, it might have been more than I

could have borne.

Somehow I choked out that she looked lovely and turned

the light out as quickly as I could.

As soon as she was gone, that same wave of grief swept

over me again. More grief than I could abide. I lay on

our bed and I cursed God. I cursed the whole universe

that would take away the one person I cared about more

than anything else in the world. She deserved to live

more than I did. Why not me, instead?

I had grieved for a month. Tonight, I felt the last

full measure of grief.

I slept, exhausted. When I awoke, I was naked on the

bed. One instant I had been overwhelmed by sadness.

The next, everything changed.

There was dim light coming through the blinds of the

window. I could see well enough to know that I was

alone, but I had a sudden sense I was not. The LED

clock read 11:58.

For the first time in a month, the overwhelming

emptiness was gone. Even through my stuffy nose, I

could smell Janet. I had lived with her for more than

twenty years. I knew her as intimately as any man had

every known anyone. I couldn't see her, but she was

here. It didn't make sense, but she was here. The

emptiness that was in my soul was filled. She was

here.

The air thickened and swirled. I felt janet touch me,

first, lightly on the cheek. I tried to grab her, but

there was nothing. Then I felt her hands and lips on

my chest, moving sensuously over my body. When they

reached my groin, I was instantly erect. All the

passion of our twenty years together seemed to fill me

in a moment.

I pleaded to see her - to hold her. There was nothing

but the gentle swirling air and the fragrance of my

dead wife in the air.

Then as suddenly as the air had stirred, it stopped.

Her fragrance lingered, but began to fade. Even so,

she was still here. I could still feel her.

In the sharp quiet, I heard footsteps. I could hear

her. janet was coming. I could feel her presence,

walking toward me in the darkness. Then I saw her,

beautiful and naked, walking toward the end of our

bed.

Janet looked at me with those wonderful eyes that

always read my soul. I could feel her love and her

passion for me. She began to crawl on the bed toward

me, her bottom sticking high into the air as it always

did.

When janet reached my waist, her head dipped

familiarly toward my shaft, engulfing me in a moment.

She took me deeply in her warm mouth, like she always

did to tease or reward me for some pleasure I had

given her. Then she pulled back and her tongue

lavished the head in recognizable ways, licking the

surface lovingly. She had done this a thousand times

and a thousand times it had made me shiver.

But, I had missed her too long for even this delight.

The next time she engulfed me, I put my hands deep

into Janet's hair and drew her up toward me. I needed

to hold her so badly.

I grabbed her fiercely, pulling her toward me and

holding her as firmly as anyone who has felt so great

a loss can hold. I tasted her sweet breath and those

lovely, familiar lips and the tongue that knew my own

so intimately. janet always loved to kiss and we

shared a kiss like I have never shared with any other

woman except her.

She raised her leg, taking my penis in her hand with

practiced ease, placing the head at the entrance of

her sex. She slowly eased herself down on me, smiling

that same hungry smile she always gave me on first

penetration. Before she took it entirely, she let me

reach down and spread her labia gently with my thumbs

like we both enjoyed so much. Then she set down firmly

until we fitted together perfectly once more.

We held each other. The warmth of her, the smell of

her, the feeling of being buried inside her was all I

needed to feel whole. My heart felt lighter than the

ceiling could contain and we were suddenly both

crying. But there was no sadness - except the sadness

that it had been so long.

We began to move together with the practiced ease of

long familiar lovers. Each touch was not just the

sensation of flesh on flesh; it was also the memory of

every time we had touched just like that before. It

was twenty years of passion and love. It was twenty

years of intimacy and pleasure.

We built together, perfectly matched in the need for

completion and yet with the same strong desire to make

this moment last forever. Her hips began to slow from

exhaustion so I grabbed them and thrust myself into

her more wildly. When she leaned backward and took

each nipple between her finger and her thumb, as she

liked to do, I knew she was very close. Each thrust

became more precious. Each movement brought us closer

to an end.

We arched together like two bows straining and

quivering, vibrating in tandem until the aching arms

of the archers can bear no more. Then we sprang

together in release, her warmth flooding over me, my

warmth spurting into her. We stared wide-eyed,

overwhelmed by the sensations of mutual ecstasy.

It was my daughter Lisa's body that raised up off of

me. It was my daughter Lisa's body that lay on my left

side, nuzzling in to me.

But it was my wife janet that took my nipple in her

mouth and suckled it, just as she always did when she

wanted to be comforted after sex.

And it was janet that spoke to me with Lisa's sleepy

voice.

"I can't come back again, Robert. You have to keep on

going. Lisa needs you now."

"I know Janet, but I've been so lonely. You just don't

know."

"I know, love. Don't you think I felt it too?"

"I didn't know you could. If I had just had a chance

to say goodbye. That's all I really wanted."

"It's not goodbye, love. It's never goodbye for you

and me. I'll always be with you."

I held her for a time in silence, wanting it to last

forever.

"Thank you for coming back. Thank you for giving me

this one last chance."

"I wouldn't have missed this for all the world,

Robert. You're my one true love."

"Janet, what will I do without you?"

"You'll go on. You still have Lisa. She's shared this

with us willingly Robert and she'll want more. Don't

deny her."

"I can't do that Janet, she's our daughter!"

"You better do it, or I'll come back to haunt you!"

she said chuckling. "It's only for a while and as much

for her as you. She's promised to another, even though

she doesn't know it. He's almost as special as you

are. But only almost."

"Will I be with you again, eventually?"

"You're always with me, my love. But it will be a

while yet."

"Alright Janet, I'll do what I have to do. But I'll

never stop loving you."

"I know, love. Now sleep. I have to go."
