Every evening, an elderly woman sat beside the sea.<\/p>\n

A young fisherman asked why.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband promised he would return.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had disappeared forty years earlier.<\/p>\n

Waiting had become remembrance.<\/p>\n

And remembrance had become peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
