(A/N: Enjoy the product of my pain and tears.)
Maximus was gone. He had left this life. He had died in battle. He remained a brave soldier until the very end.
Now I was left to pick up the pieces. To continue tending to our farm and raising our son. If it were not for our boy, I would have sent myself to join Maximus in Elysium long ago. But I could not do that. I could not abandon our son.
I used to look forward to falling asleep in my husband's embrace at night, when he would return from his battles. But instead, I sleep in a bed that remains cold and empty every night. I miss him so much. For all the time that he has been away from me, I have never forgotten what his embrace feels like. I put myself to sleep by imagining that he is with me. Sometimes, I can feel his spirit actually there, holding me, protecting me. I have the best sleep on those nights. I hope that I can see him again one day. Until then, I will wander through my days with a hole in my heart, waiting for the day that it shall be filled once more.
