Letting You Go · A Short Story

No love is forever. Nothing is more permanent than the absence of one who has left this life. Struggling to cope with the death of her firefighter husband, Megan contemplates taking her own life. Just as she's decided on her favorite method of suicide, she receives a letter from her husband three months after his death. Questioning its authenticity, she follows the instructions in the letter, to the exact place where he died, in search of peace and resolution, but above all, in search of an answer to one nagging question. If he could do it over again, would he choose me over giving his life to save someone else?
