We had written our own vows, and when it came time for mine, I placed my left hand in the middle of Shawna's chest, where her high-necked wedding gown covered her incision, and said, "Shawna, it may have been Missy's physical heart and her spirit that brought us together, but it is your spiritual heart and personality that make me love you. I know she's smiling on us today, which just makes it easier for me to pledge to love you for the rest of our lives."

Her response was to clasp both her hands over mine, still on her chest, to say, "Henry, Missy's heart keeps me alive, but it is your love that makes my life worth living. I will make it my goal for the rest of my life to make you at least as happy as she did, as you have made me happy."

Our honeymoon trip was to Bermuda, using the airfare Missy and I didn't get to use. On the second day, we scattered Missy's ashes into the ocean, and I said my last goodbye, and Shawna thanked Missy one more time.

I felt a kiss on my cheek, and apparently so did Shawna, and that was the last time Missy appeared to us, to this day.

If you read the first version of the story, I hope you like this version better. Thank funnyalix for it if you see her in Literotica Chat. Still hated it? Blame still rests with me.

@olddave1 I specifically chose to end the rewritten version with the statement that Missy never spoke (or giggled) in their heads ever again. That's MISSY's ending. It wouldn't make sense for me to continue the story without her. It's somewhat similar to my decision to end "The Horny Ghost" (which involves ghostly possession OF a wife, instead of BY a wife) with that ghost's exit. It's not always the main protagonist/narrator who gets the happy ending.

NICE STORY

That would have been better without the ghost or spiritist element, in my opinion.

It was a clever plot idea to have the second wife the recipient of the first wife's heart.
