You are still in my heart and in my memories Babe. Having my coffee this morning missing you so much I never realized just how hard this life is without you, so much harder than I ever thought. I felt bitter this morning why did you have to go so fast and too soon. I know people die much younger but I wasn't ready to lose you. Would I ever be ready to lose you, no. But I am angry I don't have you here to grow old with me. I see older couples walking hand in hand and I envy them but then I feel bitter. Its not how I want to be its just another thing I struggle with. We were so happy its just not right.

For some reason I was just thinking about my old boss at the Sears warehouse, Don, and I found his obituary. Sorry to hear of his passing. Don was a great boss and I worked under him for four years before moving on to my career. Short of stature (he always joked about kicking us with his size sevens to bring us into line), but long on humour, he was interested in a lot of things. He was well-liked by the crew who worked for him because he was always fair and we did our work and had fun, too.

Well I did what you and I spoke about, moving to an apartment. Its OK but I still dream of the cottage and probably always will. It was a good dream eh Babe?

Well Sweetheart the first anniversary of your leaving has come and gone and I am doing OK. It has been a year of firsts and each one I have handled in a way that honours your memory, that is what I want to do honour your memory. All I can say is year one "I survived" didn't think I would but with God's help and sweet memories I have done it. Today is day one of year two and there are changes coming but one thing has not changed I love you just as much and perhaps in death I can say I love you more because all that we had remains and is a cherished memory.

I can't count the years since I last saw Donald MacDonald. It is just this week that I heard the sad news that came from Hugh MacDonald. I remember how amazed I was: we were 10 years old, in Kirkland Lake. In Grade 5 at St. Jerome's school. We lived a block apart. When Don told me he was born in Butte, Montana, I was amazed. That was far away then, but Butte and Kirkland Lake had their gold mines in common. I often wondered where the MacDonalds went when they left Kirkland Lake. We were close buddies.
He has been and will always be kindly remembered.

I can't help but think that just one year ago you were still here with me. All seemed well with our world, how were we to know that in only a few days you would be gone. Life holds no guarantees. I never thought this day would come upon us but then why should we be different than others. I miss you Sweetheart more than anyone can ever know. Life goes on but there is a big emptiness that can not be filled. You will always have a safe place in my heart and memories.

Thinking of you today, well that is everyday. But remembering a certain phone call I gave you at work, just to say I love you. Well Mac I still do. I loved in this life and I know in eternity I will love you even more. My beloved husband you were a kind and gentle soul.

My love so much time has passed and yet you are still in my constant thoughts. I miss you my love. Your old pal Roy died April 1 and it made me so sad to think of all the staff that has left us over the years. I suppose Roy and you are chatting up a storm right now. God Bless you my love.

Time goes on but you are always in my heart. Some thought of you as a small man but to me you were 6 feet tall. You provided and protected me and the family through many difficulties. You did without yourself to provide for us. I am grateful for so many wonderful memories I have of you my beloved. Time will not change my love for you. The day we married I said till death do us part. You are gone but my love will last until my last breath and even then entering eternity it will be better. Wait for me with Artie and Mom until I come to you my love.
A happier day.

Its been just a little over six months since my beloved Don has passed and I miss him just as much today as that first day. So many days without him and so many tears I have shed. I wish he could just come home and let me hold him. I miss you Sweetheart.

This has been the most difficult loss in my life. It is just not the same without my Don. Even the dogs are grieving. Only God can lead us through this time of sorrow. Good night Boo.

Dear Barbara and family,
For some reason I missed seeing the paper on Monday. I loved Don, he was such a support to me when I worked for him at Sears. His smile and kindness was the daily thing I most enjoyed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family at this time of great loss. I will never forget our years( Barb Connie and Gill) as customer service pickup girls and our boss Don.

I woke with a heavy heart this day knowing this manspirit has transitioned to the other side and I know his soul is soaring and watching from my heart. I am a better person for having him in my life. He taught me by example. My life is enriched for being his neighbor and my friend. Many blessings of PEACE to his fabulous wife BARB and family and others he touched.

Don had all the qualities of a "good man"...honest, giving, respectful, and loving.
While we will all miss him terribly, we will find his quiet goodness reflected in the hearts of all those who loved him.

Dear Barb, My deepest sympathy to you and all the kids on the passing of your dear Don. I only had the pleasure of speaking to him on a few occasions but it was evident of what a sweet man he was and how grateful he was to have you in his life. Treasure all of the memories.
