The days have gone by and the weeks turned into months, the months into years. Yes my friend, my love 7 years.. I experience certain reminders so often that your close by. The thoughts are those of joy as the humor of your words make my heart smile.. Time has a way of healing and making the memories a delight rather than a sadness.. I celebrate your life today with those memories...
The time we went to Sis and Steves house for Christmas.. We had the boys with us "Just-in-Kase".. You always played Santa Clause, and with bags and bags of goodies going into the house, you must have locked the door to the jeep, next thing we know , the jeep is running , but with the boys are in the jeep, and it is locked.. Steve had to drive you back to Waterford to get the extra key ...It was then that Sis said ...This is something we wont forget ..as she said " there is a memory being made" as for the rest of that day we laughed and enjoyed a great day... BUT yes "Yup this one was on you "
Memories continue to remind how important you were and are in my life, what you gave and shared.. The strength you had and determination. The passion for other people and family, the importance of your world. You gave and enjoyed..
Today we would be on our way to the Keys on the bike, it is a beautiful Sunday May 19, 2019.. leaving about 6am. We would enjoy watching the sun come up as we would head on out, We would stop for breakfast in Homestead and continue towards Key Largo as we did the first time we went that way on Christmas 2006. We stopped for Christmas Dinner, thinking how weird it was that we were sitting in Islamorada on Christmas Day , while our family were in Mi. with the snow...That was the first big trip we had with the bike.. and after that, we would choose a new place to bike off to on Christmas every year.
I'm remembering the last trip we made back from there. Heading back from Key Largo,handing me your wallet as we entered Card Sound Rd. I was removing a 1.00 for the toll when your entire contents of you wallet went flying out , resting along the side of the road. It was not until we had gotten to the gas station in Homestead/Kendell, that we had noticed your entire credit card collection was gone.. having had a friend pay for our gas , we sped on down card sound Rd. to find what had blown out.. Other than your temper towards me... OK this one was on me...
Ok ..I understand that it could have been much worse, but making memories that left impressions ..It made it worth it..
Yes exactly 7 years today we were at your side and holding your hand as you went home.. Yes it seems we have come full circle...Its this day of the year I seem to continue to celebrate your life and hold every memory as one would hold their most precious diamonds.. Its your memory that helped me heal, and my memories with you, that only continue to give, as you had always given to those in your life.
Thank you for the Memories and all you gave,
Love you always
Me
