Writing Prompt #414: Dowager Heroine

I got to spend a little more than an hour basking in the wisdom of an artist who was a widow.

She had so much to share and to teach, so many experiences and dreams to draw like gemstones from her pockets, and then every other moment, she mentioned him. 

She was wise, she was stable, she was strong, she was very much a part of this world, and she was living without her best friend. Half of her was somewhere else. She could talk about him, and she could teach, and he wasn't there.

Your challenge: Someone who isn't present is very important. They're influencing everything, but they're not here and they're not coming back.
