Three years ago, after my wife died, I decided to go to Paris to wrap up my grief and, perhaps, move on.
Over many a coffee and croissant in cafes and baguettes in the parks, we talked a lot with care to listen to each other — to understand what a frown or a smile meant.she would ask looking at me with her natural frown.

On one trip she paused by a kiosk outside the Louvre, and selected a long dark red souvenir scarf with gold highlights of Paris to wrap around her black coat. That wrap hangs in my closet, still holding the scent of the perfume she wore in those days. I see it every time I slide the closet door open.
