just another day without him

so what it's Valentine's Day, I know we would've gotten up this morning, either shared breakfast at home or gone to the neighborhood diner.  Simple but sweet, year after year ... that was us.  I was with my Randy for 4 years before we were married so that makes 36 Valentine's.  So today is just another lonely day, a day I must survive like every day since he's been gone.  Some days its weighs so much... this sorrow.  I miss him, my friend, my companion, my lover, my other half.  Valentine's, all I see is a broken heart. I hate when I sound so morose.  I miss my hubby so much I don't know how I can go on sometimes.  But then I get reminded how lucky I am ... he left me with a wonderful family.  My daughter gave me a card and some candy this morning with a big hug and a few tears.  He always gave her something for Valentine's.  She was so thoughtful, I know she worries about me.  All my kids do.  I'm usually the strong one and that's not me anymore.  I don't want them to worry but some days its very hard.  Like today.  Just another day.

Dawn, you\'re right, it\'s just another day. Unfortunately, these memories come flooding in of the surprises and funny cards and most of all, the embraces, hugs and kisses.
Another day without them yes, but one that holds more memories than most. Be strong, hugs, Kip.

I know the pain all too well Dawn. Some days it feels like is never going to end. Then I have good days and savor those.
