Watching

He never knows it, but she's watching him.  She does everyday morning, noon and night.  Not a single move is made without her knowledge. But he never realizes it.  He just goes about his days, some happy, some sad, and he thinks thinks about how it used to be. Dating, marriage, kids, houses, cars, parties, dinners, holidays.  Everything  seemed out of some fairy tale about a princess in the tower and her knight in shining armor. He would protect her from the evil dragons lurking about in the world, against anything that would harm her.  But there would be one thing that he couldn't protect her from.  No one could and she went away.  He spends his days now going through the motions, heading the family that has gone from 6 to 26, and he still sheds tears, but we'll never see.  Only she will, because she will forever be watching.
