How can it be your 64th birthday and our 26th anniversary!? I miss you as much today as I did the night you died. More so, if that is even possible.
I own you so much for the influence and inspiration in my life. I carry you in my heart always. And my love for you deepens every day.
Ron, you are loved and missed beyond words.
XOXOXO

Today will forever represent a day of immense emotion for me as I reflect our last moments together. As I think of those moments when we said goodbye as you left for the airport, I will forever remember the feeling of your arms around me, holding me and kissing me goodbye. I cherish the moments of our last weekend together as we relaxed and prepared for your upcoming trip and the anticipation of your return to the wedding of your niece. Your life ended that evening 8 years ago and mine was changed in a heartbeat. Life as I knew it stopped/died with your last breath. My heart aches for you as each day dawns. I will visit your grave and dream of what could have been.
Love you Ron forever and always.

Remembering Papaw

February 25, 2022

When Ron died, we were expecting our 3rd grandchild. Our grandson was born 4 months after Ron's death.
Ron carried his moniker of Papaw with pride. He loved spoiling our oldest 2 grandchildren and they loved him beyond measure.
I adopted a signature after Ron's death, where I signed everything to them with 3x's and 3o's (XOXOXO - a set of xo for myself, for the grandchild, and the 3rd set for their papaw). It was how I kept Ron a part of our lives. As the grandchildren grew, I'd have conversations with them about their papaw. The older 2 wanted to know if papaw would be proud of who they turned out to be. And the youngest wants to know if papaw would like him at all. Of course, I assure each of them that their papaw would be immensely proud of them and love them beyond measure.
It is difficult to face each angelversary and this year is no different. I am, however, preparing to mark this anniversary with our oldest grandchild (she is noe 20 years old) by getting matching tattoos. We chose an infinity twist with the XOXOXO written in each other's handwriting. I cannot think of a higher honor to give a man that left a deep impression on the hearts of so many.
Still loving you Ron. Forever and always ❤ ❤ ❤

The Valentine's Day before Ron died (2008) was quiet for us. But the next day, Ron came home with a dozen orange roses! They were beautiful and that was my Ron. He preferred to give when it was least expected. Once that was established between us (a long time ago), his gifts were quite thoughtful. I loved him for many things but one of those things was his thoughtfulness.

This will be short but a memory of a January past:

We were living in VA and my birthday was approaching. My birthday became just another day to me the older I got but this one year, Ron and Caryn had become a bit suspicious in nature. On the day of my birthday (the 25th) the weather forcast was cold and snow! Ron was becoming more and more anxious, something he was normally not, so I was totally confused. Well the snow storm had become much worse than thought so now Ron and Caryn sat me down and confessed they had planned a birthday party for me! They had to tell me because of the weather they had to cancel the party.

It was one of the sweetest things Ron had done for my birthday ever. Even though the party never happened, just knowing that he had made all the plans was such a gift to me.

Birthdays after we moved south had evolved to family dinners at the choice of resturant of the birthday person.
