It is so lonely now, knowing he isn't just a call away. I was able to enjoy myself, even when he wasn't along, because I knew I could hear his sweet voice anytime I wanted. What I would give.........
I think the afterlife is being more and more revealed to us by all this communication we have now...so that helps..
Frank and myself would talk and call all the time, whether I was travelling or not.....I just stare at the phone sometimes...and wonder...also I 'feel' him calling sometimes and I have to check the phone because I am sure I missed the ring or something...we were so together like that and we'd have great fun over the phone even if I was down the block because we knew we would be together again shortly...:(((( BOY oh, boy it hurts so much around the phone....and I cannot believe how small my world was...it was just me and him calling eachother really :) he's got to be reallly wanting to call me....WHEN his ashes were 'ready' to be picked up...I FELT...his urgency trying to contact me....and sure enough the funeral director said, I can't believe it...I am just after walking in with him..his ashes are in my arms..I really felt as if Frank was telling me...go pick me up now....the ashes had come in late by about 3 days....so I was hugging the box...cannot have them around so much..so they are at a friends at the moment...but it felt like him...I could always FEEL his agitation etc....
I miss him so much and taking care of him was such a huge part of my life. One morning he called my cell phone but I must have been at work because voice mail picked up and he left me a msg. And this was probably about 3 months ago. But he wasn't very verbal about his feelings and he left me this msg. saying he just wanted to hear my voice and he loved me. I have always kept it thank goodness! But I found a company that will put it on a CD for me. I listened to it just the other day and sobbed so much.
