Alone For The Holidays
by DG Hear (dghear@core.com)

***


Wife dies leaving husband alone for the holidays. (MF, 
no sex)

***

Here it is the afternoon of Christmas Eve and I am 
sitting all alone at my kitchen table with a bottle of 
Jim Beam and my gun. I'm not a big drinking man but I 
did get the Jim Beam whiskey to build up my courage to 
do what I'm about to do. You see, this is the first 
Christmas I would be spending by myself in my sixty-
four years of life. My wife of forty-two years died 
three months ago leaving me alone. 

Not everyone has Happy Holidays. I can see that now. 
It's not that my marriage was all that good. We had 
some really good times and then those really bad times.

I'm just sitting here reminiscing. I remember when I 
first met my wife Sophie. She and her younger sister 
Helen were at the malt shop when I walked in. I was 
just a cocky guy who liked to meet young ladies and 
give them my spiel. I walked up to Sophie and gave her 
just about every pickup line I ever learned. She looked 
at me and said, "George, you're so full of shit I can't 
believe it," as she smiled.

"Does that mean you'll go out with me then?" I asked.

She just smiled and said she would think about it. 
That's how we first met. On our first real date we went 
to the drive-in movie. I did my best work at the drive-
in. We kissed and played around a little and then I 
started falling for her big time. About a year later we 
got married. I remember her sister Helen came up to me 
at the reception and said. "George, I have to tell you 
something. When you first came up to me and Sophie at 
the malt shop we both liked you. Then Sophie looked at 
me and said, 'I'm going to marry that man some day,' 
just like that George. She knew what she wanted and 
went after it."

It surprised me that both girls liked me and that 
Sophie was so sure about us. But that's the way she 
always was. She really was a special woman.

Our sex life was fantastic when we first got married. 
We were like two rabbits making love all the time. It 
was special. It wasn't just love or just sex. It's hard 
to explain but it was loving fun. We did it most 
anytime, anyplace, and everywhere. We would always try 
new places to make love. The kitchen table, from behind 
at the kitchen sink. One of Sophie's favorites was on 
the washing machine while it was agitating. I had to 
stand on a stool just to get high enough to insert my 
dick, but the vibrations were awesome. Sophie's climax 
was pretty good too.

I remember us buying a book on ‘101 sexual positions.' 
We started on page one and started having fun. You 
would have had to been a contortionist from the circus 
for some of those positions. That's what I mean, we 
always had fun while having sex. We tried oral a few 
times but Sophie said it wasn't her thing. For her to 
get pleasure she wanted it in her. We even tried anal 
one time. I got her sort of high on screwdrivers and 
was taking her from behind. My dick was really wet from 
dipping it in her pussy. So I pulled it out and slid it 
up to her arse. 

I barely pushed the head in when she screamed out, "It 
hurts George." I got about two more inches in when she 
told me, "That's enough George, no more." It was tight, 
I mean really tight. Her arse was actually squeezing my 
dick so hard it hurt. I finally shot a load up her 
arse. She looked at me and said, "George, I hope you 
really like that because it's never going to happen 
again." Then believe it or not she kissed me, just to 
let me know she wasn't mad.

We ended up having two kids: a boy and a girl. Sophie 
was a great mother and then a great grandmother. She 
put love into everything she did. I remember when the 
kids were just little, maybe seven or eight. They 
wanted to decorate the Christmas tree. Well, Sophie was 
somewhat of an artist or perfectionist when it came to 
decorating. 

I couldn't imagine her letting the kids decorate the 
tree. I just set the tree up and left the rest to 
Sophie and the kids. She let them put on the 
decorations. She tried to explain about decorating but 
let the kids go and do it their way. They were happy as 
can be when they got done. The tree looked like a 
disaster. She just smiled at the kids, told them they 
had done a great job and then put them to bed. Then she 
came back in and redecorated the whole tree for the 
next two hours.

When the kids got up the next morning they looked at 
the tree and asked what happened? Sophie just said she 
added a few decorations. The kids looked at her and 
said, "We did good, mom, didn't we?"

"Yes, you did, you did a great job," was her reply. 
That's just the way she was. She put love into 
everything. There was nothing she couldn't cook. We 
hardly ever worried about leftovers at our house. 
Everyone always ate everything up. Even if she just 
made a sandwich, it was always better then the one I 
made and used exactly the same stuff.

I remember asking her one time, "Why do your sandwiches 
taste better? It doesn't make sense. We use the same 
stuff."

She looked me, smiled and said, "I always put love in 
my sandwiches." It was true, everything she did was 
just a little better.

I don't know how far we ever made it through that book 
of ‘101 Positions,' But making love with Sophie was 
incredible. Of course after the birth of the kids we 
did it a lot less but we still had the loving fun. That 
was until I ruined it.

I don't remember if Sophie was going through a change 
or sick. But she became a little distant to me. Now, 
looking back, I believe it was the medication she was 
on. Anyway I had an affair. This gal at work was kind 
of flaunting her wares. Her husband was incarcerated 
and she must have been lonely, horny or both. I went 
for it. Seeing Sophie was kind of turned off to me, I 
went after Nancy. We probably had sex a dozen times 
over a few months' period. 

I would be lying if I said it wasn't any good. It was 
great. It was new, strange and different. I just fell 
to the temptation. Of course one day Sophie found out 
and I figured my marriage was over. I did the usual 
apologizing and explaining about it not meaning 
anything, promising to stop and never do it again.

Sophie yelled and screamed at me. The worst thing she 
did was cry. I couldn't stand to see her cry. That's 
when I hit my lowest level ever. Seeing what it did to 
her just tore me apart. She didn't deserve it. She 
should have just dumped me right then but she didn't. 
She stayed with me.

Our life never returned to the happy state we had 
before the affair. I know Sophie never trusted me again 
even to the day she died which was twenty plus years 
later. We didn't make love till a few months after the 
affair. We had gone to a party and when we came home 
Sophie let me make love to her. 

It was never the same. We had sex but it wasn't love 
anymore. Sophie never gave so freely of herself again. 
Every once in awhile I'd feel her give in some but 
never the happy go lucky fun loving that we once 
shared. It was my fault. There was nothing I could do 
to repair the damage I had done.

The rest of our life went on pretty normal. The loving 
meals, the happy mom and a lot of good times. We 
enjoyed our vacations and doing things together but the 
love life eventually deteriorated into nothing.

There was a time there when Sophie said she didn't care 
for sex all that much. That she learned to live without 
it and so it wasn't a big thing in her life anymore. 
That is enough to turn any husband off. It was even 
hard to get a hard-on when the woman you loved didn't 
want to make love with you anymore.

I remember reading a story on communicating. Sophie and 
I did that, we communicated. The only problem was our 
talks always ended up in arguments. It was almost 
always negative talk about me. I didn't do enough 
around the house. I didn't want to take her shopping. I 
spent too much time on the computer. I never wanted to 
go anywhere. And on and on and on...

About five years ago I had a heart to heart talk with 
Sophie. I told her that I don't think she ever forgave 
me for the affair, that I believe she fell out of love 
with me and I deserved it. I believe she only stayed 
with me because of the kids and that our life outside 
of no sex was pretty good. I still loved her and told 
her I never had sex with any woman since the affair 
over twenty years ago. I promised her that I would 
always be there for her and if she wanted me all she 
had to do was ask.

I went to her one time after that and even tried oral 
sex on her. She said she didn't really feel anything. I 
touched her but there were no sensations. After that we 
cuddled once in a while but that was it. One day she 
said she knew I masturbated. I asked her what choices I 
had. She didn't want to have sex with me. I promised 
her never to cheat on her again and was going to keep 
that promise. I would never hurt her again. Then there 
was masturbation. If she knew of another way to get 
release to let me know. She just walked away.

I was now thinking about my kids. Of course they 
weren't kids anymore. They would soon have 
grandchildren of their own. George Jr. lives a state 
away with his wife and three kids. Dorothy lived maybe 
a hundred miles away with her husband and two kids. It 
really hurt Sophie when their jobs took them away. At 
least their children were pretty much grown by then. 
Sophie just loved being around the kids.

All the Christmases when our kids were little were the 
best. Christmas morning we all sat around and opened 
presents. The smile on their faces and the smile that 
Sophie had just watching them. Some of our joyous times 
were around the kids during the holidays. Then after 
our kids were grown and married, Sophie did the same 
thing with the grandchildren. The warmth and smiles 
that were on the little faces was her reward.

When the kids had to move away, Sophie made sure we 
went to their houses for Christmas. She wasn't about to 
miss the holidays with family. I just went along and 
enjoyed the holidays. If it made Sophie happy, I was 
happy.

Sophie's sister Helen got married a few years after us. 
She married an insurance guy named Ted. They seemed to 
be a pretty good match. The four of us went everywhere 
together. We were almost inseparable. We went to the 
movies, dancing, dinner all the time and even went on a 
cruise together. 

I probably loved Helen almost as much as Sophie. I 
never did anything to harm our relationship in any way. 
The four of us just seemed to hit it off. I know Sophie 
thought a lot of Ted also. But we all just stayed 
friends, that is except Sophie and Helen. They were 
probably as close as two sisters could get. I doubt if 
they even kept a secret from one another.

Three years ago Ted had a heart attack and passed away. 
He was only fifty-seven years old. Way to young to die. 
Helen was heart broken. She lost her love. Sophie and 
Helen both took it really hard. We were four, now we 
were three. We still included Helen in most everything 
we did. At least I didn't have to go shopping all the 
time now. Helen went on with her life. Since Ted was an 
insurance agent, he saw to it that she was well taken 
care of. At least financially she was secure.

She had one daughter who lived in California. She spent 
the holiday season out there with her daughter and her 
family. She was never in a hurry to get back, so she 
stayed usually a month or so. She was planning on going 
again this year. Wish she would have stayed home this 
year. Maybe she could talk me out of what I was about 
to do.

There was always turmoil surrounding our marriage. 
Everything seems to always lead us back to the affair. 
Do overs, that's when if you had the chance you could 
go back and correct the mistakes in your life. Would-a, 
should-a, could-a, doesn't mean a damn thing. I made 
the mistakes and now spent the last twenty five years 
of my life paying for it. I thought of leaving Sophie a 
dozen times. The problem was that I caused the 
heartache. 

I had the affair. I'm the one who put our marriage in 
this life long turmoil. But most of all, I still had 
strong feelings for Sophie. Even if we had arguments, 
which was pretty regular, I knew she was always there. 
We might have even been in different rooms but I didn't 
miss her. I knew she was just two rooms away. It's 
funny when you think about it. Sometimes it was like 
two strangers living in the same house. But it felt 
secure. We pretty much learned to live with each 
other's faults.

Damn, I wish I was a writer so I could tell you how it 
really feels to miss someone. I just don't know the 
words. Ache, pain, misery, loneliness, that's what I've 
been feeling since Sophie's death. I don't want to be 
here alone anymore. It's terrible, no-one to even argue 
with. I go out during the day, always coming home to an 
empty, lonely, dark, too quiet place. 

I don't even know my own thoughts anymore. How do you 
cry on paper? How do you explain emptiness? Sophie was 
right when she told me one time that I should die 
first, that I didn't know how to take care of myself 
well enough to live alone and that I probably couldn't 
handle it.

I remember arguing with her that I took care of myself 
for over sixty years and I could continue to do so 
until the day I die. She just laughed and said, 
"George, I'm the one who has taken care of you for the 
last forty-two years. I think God made me your guardian 
angel because you can't go through life alone."

Looking back I believe she was right. I hate to admit 
it but I don't do well on my own. But now I'm just too 
old and too tired to go looking for a partner. The only 
person that would even come close is Helen and I doubt 
if she would want anything to do with me, not after she 
was through talking to Sophie and besides by now she's 
probably a thousand miles away.

I know I'm feeling sorry for myself. But I'm in this 
terrible rut and can't or maybe don't want to take the 
effort to climb out of it. I'll just keep drinking my 
Jim Beam and build up some courage.

Looking back on the last six months of our life 
together is painful. One day she wasn't feeling good. I 
suggested she go to the doctor and we argued about it 
as usual. Finally she decided to go. I drove her to the 
doctor's office and he ran a bunch of tests. She came 
out of the office and hugged me. Right then I knew we 
had problems. I can't tell you the last time she came 
and hugged me like that. 

We both went back into the doctor's private office 
where he told us the bad news. She had tumors and they 
were probably cancerous. He was still going to run some 
tests but because of past experiences he was almost 
sure of his diagnosis. He asked us to come back in 
three days and he could verify the facts.

We went back three days later and he said she had the 
late stages of cancer. There was nothing he could do. 
He would put her on chemo for awhile but the outlook 
was very grave. At most he gave her six months to live. 
I just broke down and bawled. I took her in my arms and 
she was the strong one. She said everything would be 
all right. How can everything be alright when my wife 
is dying?

When we got home she called Helen. She came right over 
and they cried together. I wanted to do everything I 
could for my wife in her last months. Always too late, 
would-a, could-a, should-a. There were no second 
chances here. During her last months, Helen and I did 
everything we could to make Sophie comfortable. It 
should have been me, not Sophie, who was dying. We 
called the kids and they came down to see her as often 
as they could. It was really a strain on everyone. 
Trying to put on a happy face when talking to Sophie 
and crying all other times.

In her last days while in the hospital she spoke to 
everyone in the family alone. She had private thoughts 
for each person. I remember her talking to me. I stayed 
by her side pretty much continually. Realizing she was 
dying and being with her knowing there was absolutely 
nothing I could do was the most inadequate feeling a 
person could have. Looking at her lying there knowing 
anytime she might breathe her last breath.

One of the last thing she said to me was, "George, keep 
your eye on Helen for me. I always worried about her." 
That was Sophie, dying and worrying about others.

Then she looked at me as I held her hands with tears 
running down my face and said, "George, I forgive you 
and I have always loved you. So please forgive me for 
not being the wife you wanted." Then she closed her 
eyes and went to sleep. About an hour later she stopped 
breathing.

As I walked out of her room my family were all standing 
there. They saw me crying and knew it was over. Their 
mother, grandmother, and sister had passed away. 
Everyone was in tears especially me.

God gives us one life to make the best of and I felt I 
ruined hers. Why lord, why take her? Why didn't you 
take me instead. I don't want to be alone, I want my 
wife back. I don't care if we argued everyday. I don't 
care what she calls me. I just wish I could make up for 
the pain I caused her. Please, Lord, just give her back 
to me. But it was not to be. That only happens in fairy 
tales and this was real life.

I sat at the table taking another shot of Jim Beam, 
tears just rolling down my cheeks. I was so lonely. It 
had only been three months and felt like years. I 
couldn't live like this.

I recalled Thanksgiving just last month. The kids 
didn't want me to be alone, so I made the trip to be 
with George Jr. and his family. My daughter Dorothy 
came with her family so we could enjoy Thanksgiving 
together. It wasn't a happy occasion for me at all. I 
didn't feel thankful and I knew it built tension with 
the kids. There they were with their families trying to 
enjoy the holidays. Of course they missed their mother 
but as they said, "Life goes on, dad."

They invited me up for Christmas but I wasn't going to 
ruin that holiday for them also. They were able to get 
on with their lives. I was the lonely old guy that I 
felt was just in the way. I hoped they would understand 
what I was doing. I didn't want to be alone anymore.

I spent the last tree months getting my affairs in 
order. I didn't want to burden my kids with any undue 
expenses. I had everything in order, insurances, taxes, 
wills. All I needed now was courage, hopefully Jim Beam 
would help me with that.

I had a housekeeper who came in twice a week to help 
keep the place clean. I didn't dirty it much, I didn't 
spend that much time at home. I ate out most of the 
time now and just sat in the park feeding the ducks. 
You've seen the lonely man just sitting there at the 
park. That was me. Then at dark I come back home to 
this big lonely place. 

The only happiness was when Helen came by to help me 
sort out and take care of Sophie's belongings. I gave 
her most of Sophie's stuff. I knew she would want her 
to have it. I did let my daughter Dorothy take what 
ever she wanted of her mom's belongings first.

One day when Helen was here and we were sorting out 
Sophie's stuff I gave her a hug, she felt so good. Then 
I went to kiss her, I know I shouldn't have but I was 
just lonely. The last thing I wanted to do was alienate 
Helen. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and 
said, "No, George, not now." I let go of her and went 
to the bathroom and just cried. When I came back out of 
the bathroom she was gone. That was a few days ago and 
the last time she stopped by.

I poured myself another shot. The courage was coming. I 
drank it down when there was a knock at the door. Who 
the hell's bothering me now? I got up and opened the 
door and there stood Helen. Immediately tears welled up 
in my eyes. I was an old guy, tears flow pretty easy 
out of us and we can't seem to stop them even if we 
want to. Other than Sophie she was the prettiest sight 
I could imagine at that moment.

"Well, George, are you going to invite me in or do I 
have to stand out here?"

I apologized and opened the door. I had to hug her. I 
couldn't help it, us old guys are like that. I said, "I 
thought you were going to go be with your daughter for 
the holidays?

She said, "I called my daughter and told her I wasn't 
going to be coming this year. I'm going to spend the 
holidays with a friend. I felt like I was just imposing 
on my daughter and her family and I wasn't really 
comfortable being there for such a long time."

I asked her, "What friend are you going to visit and 
spend the holidays with?"

She laughed just like Sophie used to and said, "You, 
George, you're the friend I want to spend the holidays 
with if you will have me. I know I'm not Sophie and I'm 
an older women but I'm lonely too, George."

I started crying and started apologizing for my actions 
the last time she came to visit. Of course I wanted her 
here. I couldn't think of anyone alive that I wanted 
more to be with. To say she was beautiful or gorgeous 
would seem funny to people since she was 59 years old, 
but to me she was. She looked great for her age.

She said, "Don't apologize, George. I wanted you to 
kiss me but I needed to think things out and have a 
talk with you first."

I took her coat and asked her to sit down. I remembered 
the gun on the table. I quickly took it and put in the 
drawer. When I turned around Helen was standing there. 
She didn't see the gun but the Jim Beam was still 
there. She looked at me and said, "Would you like some 
coffee, George?" 

She then took the Jim Beam, put it in the cupboard and 
started making coffee. God, it felt so could just 
having her here. She looked at me and said, "George, if 
we are going to enjoy the holidays, don't we need a 
little decorations?" as she smiled at me.

I headed downstairs to get our little tree and 
decorations. Together Helen and I set up the little 
tree and put on some Christmas music. Then she said she 
would be right back. She went out to the car and 
brought me in a little present and set it under the 
tree. I went into my bedroom and brought out a gift I 
had bought for her. I had stopped at the store a couple 
of weeks ago to get the kids each a gift certificate 
for their families. While I was there I bought a 
necklace for Helen and had it gift wrapped. I was going 
to give it to her the day she left. I put it under our 
little tree next to the present she bought me.

Then she began to explain things to me.
"George, you know that I have always cared for you. 
Sophie knew it, too. You know how close Sophie and I 
were. She loved you, George, she loved you deeply. You 
also know that she never really forgave you for the 
affair until her last days. Yes, George, I know all 
about the affair. She told me you tried everything to 
make it up to her but she just couldn't let it go. I 
told her many times to let it go but she just said she 
couldn't."

"I loved my husband, George. Ted was a wonderful man. 
We had a wonderful life together. I'll always remember 
him. He'll always be in my heart just like Sophie will 
always be in yours. But, George, I have always loved 
you too. I know you knew it but you belonged to 
Sophie."

"You know that Sophie talked to everyone before her 
death. George, Sophie was worried about you. She said 
she didn't know if you could make it through life 
alone. The last thing she said to me was, "Helen, take 
care of my George. I know he loves you, too. He's a 
good man but I'm afraid he won't make it on his own. He 
needs plenty of love and attention. He's stubborn as an 
ox and won't listen to you. But he is a wonderful man 
and you need him, too, Helen."

I was crying again. Damn, grown men aren't suppose to 
cry and that's about all I do anymore. I looked at 
Helen and said, "Sophie was right, you know. I've 
always had feelings for you. Other than Sophie, you're 
the only person I truly care for," as I gave her a hug.

I then asked Helen how long she was going to stay. We 
could go get something to eat and come back and open 
our gifts. We both laughed knowing there was only one 
present apiece under the tree. 

Then it happened. Helen looked at me and said, "George, 
I'll stay forever if you'll have me."

Tears again as I kissed her. I told her that was fine 
with me

Sophie was right. She was my guardian angel.
