There is reason to be upsetJul 26, 2020 12:00 AM - "Don't get upset about it." That's what my husband said because I was crying about a friend who had died a month ago.

She watched it disappearing like a riderless horse, the last image of something kinetic, still moving, disappearing leaving a trail of memories of Tom going to work, to rugby games or to their granddaughter's school to pick her up and take her to swimming lessons. Tom at the wheel. Tom going places and coming home. Eileen never complains, reminisces or cries on the phone. She only sighs and says, "Oh well." An English woman with a stiff upper lip going through this wrenching experience in the time of a pandemic.
