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.
Understandable, but take care or yourself. You are worth living.

ReplyDeleteOh, that's lovely. How lucky you and Judy were to have such a wonderful life together. So many happy memories to cherish.

ReplyDeleteAs I told her the other day, I don't know how I'd have made it through this without her.
DeleteThat's a beautiful poem, and, again, I'm so sorry about your loss. ❤️
