I stood in the graveyard, tears falling from my face as I looked at the stone in front of me.

Rest in Peace, Dear Jason.
I felt my legs give into my weight as I felt a sob escape my chest. My ex-husband had died in the war about 6 months before, leaving me and my unborn child behind to fend for ourselves. I lived in Portland Oregon, working as a CSI investigator. I was on leave at the time, since my baby only had about 2 more months. I sniffed and leaned my forehead against the stone, setting red roses on top of it. "I wish you were here... if you hadn't left, we wouldn't be so troubled," I whispered to the stone, closing my burning eyes. I stood and walked away and out of the graveyard, to my house. I went outside to my car and drove to the store, blindly walking out of it. All of a sudden, I saw someone familiar. I crouched behind my car and prayed to myself he wouldn't see me. He was a man I had fallen in love with in College, and he asked me to marry him. I declined, for I thought I was too young a decade ago. I bit my lip and stood, trying to avoid him as I walked to the store.
