The verbs 'Love' and 'Grieve' are always in present tense when it's genuine.

So my mom just rang me, she told me that she dreamt of my dad last night.

In her dreams, dad was about to give mom a divorce paper. My mom, clueless, asked my dad what was it all about. He answered her question with another question, "Why didn't you come?". Still clueless as hell, my mom couldn't respond, "Heh?".

.......................................................................

It's been 8 years now that she lost him. Every Friday, she has a routine of coming to her late husband's grave to bring him flowers.

These last two weeks, mom has been really charged with work so she had to miss her Friday routine.

So when mom told me that story, I asked her an almost rhetorical question, "You really did love him, didn't you?"

And she was able to respond, "Present tense."

After the whole (absurd) 'dead-husband-filing-for-a-divorce' dream of my mom's, I can't think of anything but this:

Even when you already lost someone, you still have the fear of losing them. I mean, for real, does that even make sense?

T: Who? Freud? Well, that he's awesome.
B: That smug son of a bitch.
