"I Want A Divorce"

In a Tuesday overnight dream, I got in bed after turning off the lights and Anne said to me, "I want a divorce."

We've been married for over 49 years so I was stunned. After the initial shock I smiled and told her she was only kidding.

But she said she was not kidding and wanted a check for half the proceeds when we sold our home.

I was horrified to realize she was serious and said I would turn on the lights so we could discuss this.

At that moment I awoke from this nightmare, with a sense for the sorrow so many people go through when by surprise, their spouses tell them the marriage is over. It was an awful feeling.
