Richard
How can it be that we were parted
On an ordinary Monday morning?
You walked out in your workman blue,
Thermos full of coffee,
Ready to toil for another week.
But just one sip from your cup
And your brave heart stopped beating
And you left me.
You were a man of such simple pleasures –
You never asked for much
And you never put yourself first.
And I loved you.
I wanted to enjoy these autumnal years with you.
Nothing fancy
Just gentle companionship based on a lifetime of love.
But you are gone
And my world has ended.
I don’t want another.
I just want to be where you are.

Margaret,
What a moving tribute to Richard. I can feel all of your emotions, and your pain as well. My husband went into cardiac arrest on a Monday too, very suddenly, like your Richard. Life changed in an instant, and is not the same anymore.
Blessings,
Barbara

I couldn't have said it any better--sounds just like how I feel about Gene. It's beautiful and sad but oh so true.

I can feel your pain it seems like our husbands leave us too early and without a goodbye. Your tribute to him is so beautiful. I know that the pain we feel can only be understood by someone that has been there. It is a pain that cannot be explain and it always there eating at us. I love my husband and I miss him so much. Today is a hard day for me because my son was able to get into my husband's email and called me to see it. I had written him emails when he got sick and when he died I kept writing him and it brought back all the pain that I felt when he got sick and died. I miss him so much and just wish for one chance to hug him and tell him I love him dearly. He is the love of my life. Linda

I want you to know that I appreciate your expression of love for your husband. I lost my husband to a heart attack on 8/13/08. I have been feeling very low lately and I know it is because of the year date. I loved my husband and he also was a man who never put himself first. He was so giving. I do not know how I was so lucky to have married such a wonderful man. I have been truely blessed. But, now we live without them and life is so very lonely. I can't imagine being really happy again. I feel your pain and just know there are many of us lonely widows who grieve every single day. My heart goes out to you and many, many hugs to you! JulH
