Burying Quote by Heather Burch

“Some nights he would even forget she wasn’t there. He’d awaken and roll over on his side to draw her near. Instead of her soft form, his hands would grasp only cold blankets. He’d pull them to his face, burying the pain. Yes, he still missed her and probably always would.” quote by Heather Burch
