Soft Whispers: Jill & Jake

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in short story | 7 comments

Jill reached for her cell phone when the alarm began to play softly. While turning the alarm off, she sat in bed, wishing she could finish her dream but knowing it would repeat. For some reason, the dream had come to her every night for a week stopping at the same place. Then she would hear her alarm. While Jill showered, she thought about her dream. She was in the library, standing in an aisle, looking at a book with a picture of a young couple on the cover. Hearing steps approaching her, she looked up to see a young man walking up to her. As their eyes met, Jill always felt her...

Mask to Mask

Staying home was not something Elsa wanted to do. Accustomed to being at her office from sunup to sundown was the norm for her. The pandemic had changed everything, and everything seemed surreal. Elsa’s apartment was modestly decorated. If not for an insisting girlfriend, she probably would most likely not have any furnishing, except maybe a bed and chair. Entertaining was not a priority for Elsa. She just needed a place to come home to shower, have a glass of wine, and get some sleep. Things were so different at her office. Elsa had spent tons of money decorating and making her...

When you are writing a Memoir about a true love shared with your soulmate, it can be the most beautiful experience but it can be heartbreaking at times. Frank and I married at age eighteen. We were married for nearly twenty-nine years when suddenly he was struck ill and died within six days of that illness at the age of forty-seven. While writing our love story and remembering the fun times we had together, I enter into a time machine going back to that period. Actually, I see us together as if a spectator. Actually, the best way I can describe this would be to compare it to the same...

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Blog | 16 comments

After marrying my soulmate Frank on May 8, 1968, he passed from this world on January 30, 1997, due to a sudden illness. We were married for nearly twenty-nine years at the time of his death. Frank and I were both eighteen years old when we married, and only thirty hours separated the difference in our ages, so we grew up together. As our hearts and souls became so entwined together, they became one strong thread. On our first date, Frank walked me to the front door of my parent’s home, told me that he loved me and that he was going to marry me. I looked at Frank knowing what he...

Responsibility is it Declining?

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Blog | 6 comments

While writing a new chapter on my website called, “Next Stop is Okinawa”, many questions came to my mind as I was typing about a job which I had worked at prior to leaving Texas for Okinawa. While describing my job requirements and responsibilities while working as a grocery cashier/checker at HEB in 1969, I realized that many young people in 2018 would find those job requirements and responsibilities quite challenging and maybe a little bit enslaving. Having these thoughts running through my mind, led me to wonder about the changes that modern technology has made in the world,...
