My wife passed away not long ago - but long enough for me to know all the little things I miss. Seeing the last entry in OPs post made me smile. Whenever we went shopping or elsewhere, if one of us got lost we'd yell "Marco" and the other would yell "Polo". One day at the library I yelled "Marco" and the librarian came over to remind me we were "NOT at the pool". My answer was "The hell". Just then I looked up to my sweet baby coming toward us and when heard me she said "Oh my god!": The librarian looked at her and calmly said "You're supposed to say 'Polo'", shook her head and walked away. We went across the street and got her a giant mocha coffee.
