Early days. I still well up when something reminds me of my dad two decades later. I think it is doubly so if you have lived a long life in the same house together. Rick always says 'I want you to die first so I will be able to take care of you the longest.' You did that for Judy. No one ever wants their spouse to be the remaining spouse.
That is lovely, but hard to read now, I know. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my son's death, so that poem hit me hard too. But...his daughter Kate is having her baby tomorrow, so there will be brightness on an otherwise difficult day. Your BAD is a bright spot for you now, I think.
A love story always ends in tears. That is a lovely sentiment, but as everyone has pointed out, these are early days. You are still learning to navigate this new path.
That is such a beautiful poem. I'm going to make a copy of it so I can read it when I miss those who have gone. Thank you for posting this. (NewRobin13)
This is a beautiful poem, written by a Scottish author by the name of Donna Ashworth. I hope it gives comfort. I have followed your blog for many years, but never commented before, however I am so very sorry for your loss.
The words are poignantly beautiful and have an important message--but it's too soon. You're in the active grieving process and she is indeed everywhere but not there as you would want her to be. Hugs, Bruce!
I'm sure it does bring tears, and sometimes tears are both painful and a bit of a relief valve. You are still processing and will be for a while. Thinking of you.
Understandable, but take care or yourself. You are worth living.

ReplyDeleteAs I told her the other day, I don't know how I'd have made it through this without her.
