Almost a Year
Someone posted the following quote, and it about sums me up:
"I am somebody, I am me. I like being me. And I don't need anybody to make me somebody." - Louis L'Amore
My husband Richard will be gone a year May 22. My world was turned upside down, my future plans ripped from under me. It has been a slow, painful, rebuild, but one I am content with.
Yes, I kept my home and have no plans to leave it. I am provided for, embracing the memories, and have no plans to change my address. I have kept my former friends. Most are married, but I still fit into their lives. I have made new friends that are unattached and living on their own. They are the friends I have gained strength from and continue to realize that I can have a fulfilled life on my own, doing what I want, when I want, and how I want. However, I must realize that there are people in need and have plans to return to my volunteer position in the hospital emergency department.
The calendar is full through the end of June. Also tying up plans for the one-year anniversary graveside service for my husband. God broke the mold when he made this man. A man of honor, respect, devotion, loving, caring and a great dancer. This day cannot pass without acknowledging one of God's beautiful creatures that was destroyed by the ravaging of cancer.
Honey, as you can see, I am doing OK. Forever your partner. I love you more than yesterday, but not half as much as tomorrow.
