Will You Remember....

Will you remember me in heaven,
as I remember you.
Will the love still be there,
as we knew here on earth.

They say in time you heal,
from some of the hurt and pain.

You have been my soul-mate,
and you still are,
even though you do that from afar.

Please know in heaven above,
you still share a very special love.

Someone whom I will love forever.

Interesting Dentist Appt.

From one of the epileptic spills that I took when I was sixteen, a very severe one. There is no way to forget it either. I had braces at the time, thank goodness it helped to save my front teeth. Of course at the time it also included a root canal and I also knew that I may have to have another root canal one day, the time has come again.

I just recall how much pain I was in. So it goes.

On a lighter note, on Tuesday this week I had lunch with my mom and Jim's mom, which is a good thing and we had a very nice time. This is very important in the healing process that we get together when we can and just chat.

I know how I feel about Jim's passing and I don't entirely know how Jim's mom Alice feels, because it is somewhat different as far as wife and mother. But we talk on the phone frequently and I will always consider Alice as mom #2. There is not a day that goes by that I don't feel Jim's presence and I hope and pray that he will continue to be with me for eternity.

Marietta Day's

It is a nice Spring Day and thank goodness the sun is out today because of the severe weather we had last evening. It is another day that Jim will be missed due to the occasion here in town. On a yearly basis, the town in which we live has a street fair and Jim, myself and any additional family members would walk around and check out the stands and see what was for sale and for him what was to eat.

All of us remember fondly how much he enjoyed the sausage sandwiches at the deli across the street and he would have at least two. Last year Alyssa and I had both bought fudge from two different vendors, however the fudge Alyssa bought he enjoyed much better, go figure???

This will always be a special occasion for all of us.

We will all miss you today honey and remember all the good times we had on this day.

Happy Mother's Day

I know what Jim would say and I know what I am going to say. This is for the special mother's whether it be Alice, Susie, Karen, Debbie, or perhaps anyone else that we know that have shared the special ability to bring children up in the right way.

It takes a lot of patience to love and care for a child. You must have a special place within your heart to do it right. We all go through moments of happiness and sadness.

But the love that is shared throughout a lifetime cannot be measured.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!!!

I Hope You Enjoyed Your Gathering

Jim's birthday had been May 1st and a good day to have a Celebration of Life gathering. This gathering included Alice, Paul, Me, Alyssa, Charlie, Bill, Susie, Karen, Jamie, Doug, Kristy, Debbie, Jay, Jimmie(my brother), Becky, Matt, Annalie, Becky, Mark and Laura. I know Jim was with us in heart and spirit. This certainly gives everyone an idea of the impact that Jim had left in many lives and how much he is loved.

We had the gathering at Shank's Tavern here in Marietta, one of our favorite spots here in town. Under the circumstances, I hope that everyone had a good time. This is something Jim had talked about in advance, Alyssa and I wanted to follow through on.

Happy Birthday Jim Honey

What can I say about the man of my dreams. A wonderful person, with a kind heart and loved by so many. We love you Jim and this special day is just for you. I know that you will be with us today and I hope that you will be looking and smiling.

My gift to you is the love I will share with you for the rest of my life. I wish for you to the happiness and peace you are so much deserving of, after what you had been through with your illness.

Please know how much you are loved and that will remain forever.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart from the very depths of me.
