My husband loved to play soccer when he was young. We would take the children with us to cheer for the team along with his team mates' spouses. Later in life he took up golf and he would walk the course and he wanted me to play with him. I wasn't very good at it and didn't like the walking in the hot sun. He surprised me with new clubs a couple of months before he died. We played twice then he passed away. The last thing he did was played golf the morning, he died in the evening of unknown cause. He also like to travel and took us to many different countries. His goal was to see all the seven wonders of the world. We have seen three.

John and I loved to eat out...we just really enjoyed food. (that was how I would get him to go places...promise him there would be food there lol) we enjoyed going to festivals and on walks with our son. and we loved being home bodies. just laying on the couch and me watching tv and laying across his lap while he was surfing on the internet.

We loved watching football and basketball games together, being with our animals, setting and talking, rides in the car, going to church together, being with the family, can't think of much we didn't like to do together. Makes it hard not having him.

Even before we were married, camping was an important part of our life. We both grew going camping and continued the tradition. Later on cooking over the campfire was a way to enjoy the company of fellow campers. French Onion soup was one of the favorites .
We played co-ed volleyball for great fun , slo-pitch and even bowling.
Travelling usually meant visiting family but we had taken one trip on an Island and were looking forward to take many such trips together since becoming part-time empty nesters...

My husband loved to play basketball. He would play and beat all the kids in the neighborhood. He would always tease them that they got beat by an "old man" My husband was only 51, He also loved for us to be alone. He supported me working but mid-school year, every year he would tell me he missed me and wished I would quit. We also loved to travel together. I was the travel agent and I would ask him where he wanted to go and he would say "surprise me, anywhere I can be with you!"

Day trips out of the city. Usually to the beach with the odd trip to a casino in the mix. Oh how I miss the talks, the snacking on junk food in the car and particularly the walks along the beach. They were simple outing but they meant the world to me. Gerald

We loved baseball, especially our SF Giants. We went to spring training in AZ and had a blast. If we couldnt get to a regular season game, we would watch it on TV. We also loved to go to Reno, we didnt take alot to gamble with, but we had so much fun. His ashes will be spread at one of his most favorite places, where we would sit on the lake...it was where we went for our honeymoon.

My children were always involved in sports. So we enjoyed going to all their games!! We also loved going camping. Susan

Chris and I loved to eat together....probably too much for our own good. We also watched a lot of movies together. We went to the beach at least once each year together. Chris was a swimmer in HS, collage and all his life....he loved swimming in the ocean. I have a healthy fear of the ocean but he always took good care of me when we were in the water together. I love log cabins so we would also go the mountains together. We loved doing these things together and I so miss doing them with him. But beyond these things I miss the simple things like just sitting on the couch together watching HGTV. I need to remember that we were lucky to have been able to share these things.

My wife always loved to camp, and that was one thing we both enjoyed doing together. I did not enjoy the setting up and clean up after camping (we used tents, tarps and so on), but after the set up was done, nothing more enjoyable and relaxing as sitting next to a camp fire, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Also having the grandchildren on weekends and vacation time was something we both enjoyed, trying to share as much time with them as we could, travelling with them so they could see more than what they were living in each day.

We loved eating out and going to the cinema together. He always used to laugh as everytime we ate out I'd get so stuffed id have to loosen my belt. We also loved watching football (or soccer to everyone here). We were both big fans of Liverpool FC and I took him to two games for Christmas and his birthday last year. We loved both even though the last one for his birthday we got knocked out in a big cup game

We loved eating Thai food, sushi, and any kind of Asian food together. It was out thing. We also loved to go to the zoo. We went to 3 different zoos, were zoo members at one. We adored animals. He'd have to tell me when to close my eyes in the Rainforest part of the zoo because I was scared of snakes.

Everything. Just everything. How awful is that??

We met working together, and we wound up working together more than once over the 30 years we were together. People used to ask 'how can you stand being together 24/7?' I never understood that - he was my other half, the person I most wanted to spend my time with, why wouldn't I want to be with him 24/7??

For one glorious year, we both worked from home. Our home office/studio was not that big, so we literally worked back-to-back. I would be working on something and lean back and say, 'honey, look at this - what do you think?' He'd lean back, look at it, and say 'Niiiice!' And vice versa.

We did everything together - work and play. We played music together, we cleaned house together, we hiked together, we loved museums and music and art together. We played with the kids together. Frankly, there wasn't a whole lot that we did separately. I had a separate life because of my work, but it never felt as important as my life with Cliff and our kids. Work was what I did until I get home to Cliff and the boys.

Crazy, isn't it?

Home projects, gardening, road trips, spooning on a cozy coach watching our movies... cooking together was a ceremony a crazy fun- he was Italian- 'nuff said. Warmest memories all around food and entertaining family and friends. He was life of the party, like nobody else.
Kitchen has never been the same a warm and fun place since my enthusiastic chef is not here any longer.
I keep on some of the things, making his dishes and inviting some of our friends to share memories, and just to honor him, keeping the memories of him alive.
Just writing about this made me miss him so much, but I am glad you invited to share those memories...

We loved to camp and fish. Planned to sell our home and buy a RV when he retired and travel to lakes everywhere. I think that is why this year has brought me back into the pit again. This was the year instead I am living in an over 55 apartment which I have not yet felt at home in, working in a brain trauma unit at a rehab hospital which is how he died from brain trauma in a motorcycle accident. I feel stuck in grief all over again. We also loved to get up in the wee hours of the morning and go to Perkins for breakfast. The town I live in is getting a Perkins in Feb. geez life goes off in strange directions.
