RED  RUBY  EARINGS


Nobody really noticed her red earrings –
that she wore the same ones –
every Tuesday evening for 14 straight years.

Her husband had bought them that Tuesday
– plus a love card – and even had written
some fluffy love stuff in that anniversary card.

He was going to take her out for dinner after she
picked him up at the airport  on that Tuesday
evening to the place where he proposed years ago.

You know the rest of the story. 
The suitcases in the hold were 
the only things that survived the crash.
