Merry Christmas in Heaven, Sweet . Here we are in Florida spending this Christmas season with our friends. I think the last time we were here together was when we came down to celebrate New Year's Eve about 7 years ago . It's been a beautiful, but at the same time, a kinda funny and sad day. Funny because we were telling little stories about things you said and did, and sad because you're not here with us. But it's ok because I have you right here beside me, comforting me with your...

Here we are, Sweet, our 31st anniversary. Look at us. How young, how happy, how much in love we were. You were so handsome on our wedding day. We thought we would go on like that forever. Well, at least as you always said, until you were 82. And even though we didn't get that much time, the time we had together was beautiful. We shared so much of the góod times, and some not so good. But through it all, we had each other and that's what matters most. I cherish all those years and count them...

Happy Thanksgiving, Sweet. I know that's a strange thing to say but that's what I would say if you were here. And since I always feel as if you are still here with me, it's really not so strange after all. Not to me anyway. This is a day to give thanks and to be thankful. I am thankful that I was able to spend this Thanksgiving with Crystal and her family at her house. I don't think I ever told you that Crystal and Tweze got married. And then M'mah Mary and Ravi got married about a month...

My dear Sweet husband, time has not diminished the pain in my heart, nor the memories of you and the time we shared together. I still love you as much as I always have. Your loving heartbroken wife.

Happy 77th Heavenly Birthday, Sweet. I really really miss you today. But I really really miss you every day. And when it's your birthday or our anniversary, it's extra sad. I still find it incredulous that you're not here. And I'm not the only one. The grandkids are always talking about you and telling funny stories about things you've said and done and how much an impact you made on their lives. Today was one of those days, so in following tradition, we sent some balloons up to you to honor...

Happy Valentine's Day Sweet. You know I'm really missing you today. This was a very special day for us. I miss your hugs. Your kisses. Your support. Your thoughtfulness. Your advice. Your voice of reason (always). Your patience. Your protection. Your love. Your big heart, not just for me, but for everyone you cared about. Your listening ear. Your kindness. Your ability to create the best memories. Your strength. Your caring nature. Your loyalty. Your understanding. Your laughter and smile....

Merry Christmas, Sweet, in Heaven. Today was such a weird day. At no point did it ever feel like Christmas. I didn't put up any decorations, no tree, didn't send out any cards, didn't shop for gifts, and didn't feel guilty for any of it. I know the people at the Post Office is wondering why they didn't get their pumpkin cranberry bread this year, but I still may make some this weekend. Just can't get the holiday spirit without you. It was just another day today. One thing I did do this...
