There's this new movie out that my boyfriend would have loved to have seen. I thought it would be sweet to pretend we were on a date. I purchased the ticket and reserved the seat to my left (where he always sat). It was all good until the walk to the car afterwards. I barely made it inside the car when I burst into tears. I cried all the way home. That wasn't such a good idea afterall. He would have enjoyed the movie soooooooo much!!!! He would probably still be talking about the movie hours later. A date with an empty seat... i'm really losing it!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I can guarantee your boyfriend was right there with you, enjoying every minute of the movie. While it doesn't come close to having them alive, our loved ones are still with us and they can hear us and see us. I didn't used to think so...but now I know it's true.
Great big hugs to you.

You were trying to deal with your grief in some way you thought might help, it tugs at my heart what you did.
We all have personal motivations based on our loved ones. People talk about having "shrines" to their deceased. I think they mean leaving certain things a certain way - I don't know.
I have Mom's pic from my old bedroom now where my grandmom's pic was - flanked now by grandma and grandpa's pics, Mom's rosary from the Holy Land and her funeral prayer card in front of her pic. Just thinking of them in the other room has me breaking down as I type this.
You just did something to preserve a memory in hopes of something - almost anything - to bring a little piece of him back with you. You had a date - not with an empty seat - but with a LOVING MEMORY !
