I remember the day like it was yesterday when it has actually been three months since that day Greg came rushing into the apartment shouting that he got the dream job; a job I had no idea he had applied for. For over 25 years, Greg had been a salesman for a pharmaceutical company, which involved a lot of traveling. The new job was with West Coast Pharmaceutical, which meant we had to pull up roots and move across country to Oregon. The one good thing with this new job was that there was little to no travel as Greg would be a manager of a group of sales personnel so we moved. It was the second marriage for both of us and our kids were scattered across the US so we had no family ties.
Greg had just left for work when my cell phone went off. I figured it was my best friend from Virginia who calls at least once a week but usually it was on the weekend, not during the week.
I hit the talk button and said, “Good morning Suzy,” without looking at the number.
