World Cup Soccer

Watching USA against Ghana, unfortunately Ghana has scored first. I will continue to root for USA, as I know Jim is doing also.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to my dad, over the years and now, when fix-ups need to be done around the house. (things I can't handle) Dad knows I love him very much.

Happy Fathers Day to Jim's dad, for also being such a great father to Jim, Karen and Doug. I wish I would have known somewhat sooner.

Happy Fathers Day to Jim, for being such a great role model for Alyssa. We love you and miss you. I guarantee that every day that goes by, you are constantly thought of.

I am not much of a writer, but I will try and improve upon that as time goes on.

Good Morning

I woke up quite early this morning, somewhat earlier than I would have liked. I am really trying to get things back in order. I bought paint at Home Depot plus brushes etc., Jim and I had always wanted to finish the kitchen and the backroom and then begin painting the bedroom.

I still am unable to sleep in our bed, it is to difficult for the moment to not feel that person next to you. I cannot believe it will be approaching what would have been our 5th anniversary. I am especially glad now that I had kept on the letters he had sent me in previous times, they are very precious to me. It helps me go back in time when things were wonderful.

In A Relationship

When Jim and I had begun to have our relationship together, it had taken some time in order to get to know each other in a domestic way. Eventually, we grew (I think) to have mutual respect and common ground together. In my opinion, when you meet your soul-mate you know it almost immediately, somehow I guess he knew it sooner than I did. It took him awhile to pursue what interest he must have found in me.

I look back upon things and I would not have traded the time I had with him for a split second. I treasure the relationship we had together as a couple.

In 2006, even after after the removal of his kidney. We had spoken of having a child together, but in 2007 as things had become difficult again, that decision had been made for us. We even had a name picked out (Patrick James), however, things happen for a reason.

Jim and I wanted to continue our lives together as a couple should. We were committed to each other and that is what we felt between us.

I Love You Jim and Thank You for being such a BIG PART of my life, Alyssa's life and of course the rest of the family included. You have made such an impact.

In Your Memory.....

I know that you were with us last evening at your Alma Mater for the memorial scholarship award that Doug presented in your name. I thought it was a wonderful idea and you are so very deserving of it. I love you honey, myself, Alyssa, your mom and Doug and Kristy were present.

Doug definitely did you justice in the presentation and... it was a wonderful thing to be able to attend.
