A Card to Sign in the Office

On February 27, 2022February 27, 2022 By SueIn Uncategorized, Workplace10 Comments

Another occasion of sorts? Another card to sign. It is something that the social committee always does. On our staff, I think the secretary is now the sole committee member thanks to COVD-19. After all, aside from sending out cards and flowers, there’s not much else going on these days. Not like the way things …

Days Like Today…

On May 9, 2021May 9, 2021 By SueIn Family, Health/Wellness, Psychology, UncategorizedLeave a comment

It is a gorgeous, bright sunshiny day today. It is also Mother’s Day here in North America. Indeed, it’s a day of celebration for some of the most special individuals in the world; after all, none of us would be here without our moms. Thus, it seems fitting that the sun is shining on this …

Approval

On April 17, 2021April 17, 2021 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized6 Comments

Just as Joe was getting ready to serve Lydia her tea, Brook arrived to show the place. Strangely, he found himself feeling slightly annoyed. Was it because he had silently hoped to spend some alone time with the striking woman who showed up at his door? Nah, it couldn’t be that. It was way too …

The Twist

On April 3, 2021April 3, 2021 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized5 Comments

Maria found herself in the brightly lit bathroom feeling rather sick and... embarrassed. Luckily, she knew that Caterina would understand and she didn’t have to worry about being such a needy houseguest within a few mere hours of her arrival. As she slumped next to the toilet with her dark, curly hair cascading over her …

New and Old Collide

On August 10, 2020August 10, 2020 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized14 Comments

As Joe fought to catch his breath, the strikingly beautiful lady at the door announced her name, "Hi, I'm Lydia,"  her dark brown eyes danced.  "I'm so sorry, it looks like I have caught you off guard.  Clearly, I am early, but I didn't want to miss the showing.  I need a place right away …

Tea for Two?

On June 22, 2020April 3, 2021 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized4 Comments

As Maria and Caterina passed by David's house, another comfortable silence fell over the two childhood friends and the grey Volkswagen.  Seeing the blue house and white picket fence brought back so many wonderful memories, mostly of times that were so much more simple and innocent.  Maria now understood why her mom cautioned that life …

Expect the Unexpected

On June 9, 2020June 9, 2020 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized5 Comments

  The living room soon contained box upon box stacked in a neat pile.  The sense of comfort and hominess that the room once brought Joe (and his family) was lessening with each passing minute.  The realtor mentioned that someone was coming by to look at the place some time later that morning.  It would …

The Familiar Winding Road

On May 27, 2020May 27, 2020 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized4 Comments

Maria recognized the retro-style Volkswagen immediately, as she gathered up her suitcases and headed straight for it.  Caterina had been her best friend since childhood and even though they didn't see each other often over the past few years, the time in between was irrelevant.  They were always able to pick up right where they …

The Little White House

On May 12, 2020April 5, 2021 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized7 Comments

Joe folded Maria's letter and placed it in the top drawer of their night stand.  Hmm... no longer 'theirs', I guess.  He knew it was coming.  He felt it too even though he didn't want to admit it to himself.  Life for the two of them had become stagnant after the girls' death; at times, …

“My Dearest Husband Joe…”

On April 18, 2020 By SueIn Short Stories, Uncategorized8 Comments

It's been almost a year since... well, you know.  I can't do it anymore.  I tried.  Every thing in this house reminds me of them, including you.  You have their eyes, their beautiful brown sparkly eyes.  Every single time I look at you, I see them and I relive that horrible, God-awful moment in which …
