Nicole’s Story Prt 7

Nicole was happy; she was adapting to life in the big city and enjoying school. The coursework was copious, challenging, and very fascinating. There was so much to cover and she spent hours in her room happily engrossed in assignments. All was well in her world then something unexpected happened.

They were married for the past 30 years and were very much in love with each other up until the day he died.
