undying love - a drabble

Fred walked slowly through the graveyard. He held a heart shaped balloon in one hand, supporting himself on a cane with the other. His eyes wandered through the familiar headstones, stopping on one he knew perfectly. He slowly dropped to his knees in front of it and began tracing the letters with his fingers, closing his eyes, whispering the words as his hand followed them.

"Abigal Watson
1939-2009
Beloved wife, mother, and friend
She will be missed by all who knew her"

“I love you Abby.” He placed the balloon next to the stone. “Happy Valentines Day.”
