Cub, It's a little over thirteen months since you've been gone and I miss you every single day. I love you and pray that your soul is at peace. I struggle with small day to day mishaps and try to remember what you would have done to ease those burdens for us. Even though they say time heals, it only dims the absence of you being here with me. I love you and always will. You're in my prayers every night and I hold your pillow wishing it was you to hold. Love you baby.

Cub, It's 3 days away from the one year mark since you've been gone. Every single day I think of you and wish you were still with me. I've been sad and lonely without you. I'm trying to "get on with my life", but I'm so heart broken that we're not going to grow old together. " I loved you then, I love you still, I always have, I always will". That message is on a necklace you gave me and I wear it every single day. I'm making donations in your name to a church's building fund so you...

Cub, so hard to believe it's nearly 9 months since you've been gone. I met a wonderful couple at church and was invited to their home on a lake at Brighton Lakes to go fishing. Within two minutes I caught a 24 inch large mouth fresh water bass, don't laugh, It was too big to keep but I remembered the way you taught me to handle the rod to keep the fish on. You would have been so proud. And 4 bream too! It's sad that you couldn't be here with me for all future fishing trips at their home,...

Happy Good Friday and Easter in Heaven my sweet Cubby. This is nearly 8th months of celebrations that I missed without you. I found a church that I have just started to attend and put a prayer request in your memory to be read on Easter Sunday. Luke and I miss you and I think of you every single day. Love you baby.

Cub, Yesterday marked 7 months since you left our lives. I still dream of our good times and think of all the changes in our little town, new businesses, new homes. So many times I think how you're still touching my life. About a week ago, a perfect stranger came up to me while I was looking at eyeglass frames and she selected a pair that is identical to the glasses you picked out for me ten years ago and she paid for them too. Another time a customer in a check-out line presented his...

Cub, It's been nearly 6 months and I miss you yet. Happy Valentine's Day. I created a beautiful keepsake in a ring consisting of your birth stone, Blue Topaz and my stone, Diamond which I will wear forever and think of you. Every night I pray for your memory and wish you were here. I love you Cub.

Cub, A New Year just began and my thoughts are with you still. I've missed you for the past four months, missing our Thanksgiving, Christmas and your birthday together. You cannot imagine just how much I miss you and how I hated the holidays without you. I love you and wish you were here with me and our boy to welcome in the New Year. As I said, I love you so much.

My so much loved husband, today would have been your 77th birthday. I will celebrate with a small cake as was and will continue to be our tradition. I love you and think about you every day. My sweet boy, I miss you. Your loving wife Arlene.

This is my "crabby old man". Love ya baby. Wish you were here still.
