My Memories...

I was sitting alone at home thinking about all the amazing memories I have with Rick.

Our two cruises, our trips to Florida, our trip to Arkansas and meeting new people that Rick knew and now I have the pleasure of knowing.

Rick never met a stranger and he was always going up to people and talking to them. 

My life has been blessed to have him as my husband.  Rick always made me feel like I was the only girl in his world.  He always made me feel special. 

I am grateful for all the time I had with him.  We had our ups and downs like any marriage but we always said we are stronger together than we are apart. 

Jamaica was one of the best memories I have....
Rick and I climbed Dunns River Falls and had a blast.  It was extremely fulfilling and romantic.

We were smiling ear to ear. 

I miss his smile, his laugh and his way he was able to make me feel better.  I miss his advice and the way he called me baby doll.  I asked him why and he said because I was his baby doll.

I have had a lot of people tell me how happy Rick was the last 11 years.  I am grateful to have been his wife.

Though I have some amazing memories, my heart is hurting for his touch again.  I miss him more than anyone ever knows.  I want one more day with him and never let him go. 

When people think of grieving they think it will be over quick.  But Grief is a really slow process.  If it wasnt for my family, my friends, my counselor and my grief group, I am not sure if I would be able to get through all of this without it all.

My heart hurts everyday for him but I know he is always with me no matter what happen.  I know there are some folks that dont know but Rick and I were 23 years apart and He always told me that age was a number and it didnt matter to either of us. 

Not many of you know how much he meant to me.  He was my prince charming and I love him then, now and forever.  I am grateful for all of you and for him.

Thank you for reading my blog and this helps me to relieve some of the burden and it gives you all an idea of what I am going through. 

Love you all so much and thank you for coming on the Journey with me,
Shelley
