Simple..........
Love, whoever you love, man, woman or children. Love them harder, kiss and hug more often, go for longer rides and just listen to the music your hearts are making because you took the time out of your busy life, just to cherish each other a little more often. Celebrate each other more often. Make more Valentine Day's.
I worked with a lady years ago at Prudential, Margaret Hughes, she is a realtor. I wanted something special to give to Bill for our anniversary. She suggested I give him a day timer with special notes about memories shared and cute little love notes. I did it....it was such fun to think and remember 365 loving thoughts that we shared over the years. You know like on the dates your children were born something special from that day that maybe only the two of you shared. When I started I filled in the special occassion dates first those were easy. Once I got started it just rolled along. I would be driving, working, grocery shopping and all of a sudden I would think of the most special love note that I couldn't wait to get home to write it in Bill's daytimer for next year. I don't know how much of the book he read...he never mentioned it much but I cannot tell you what good marriage therapy it was for me. So now I look back and wish I had done more things like that and taken more time to tell him how happy I am he came into my life.
I'm sitting here crying while writing so I guess this must be therapy too. I don't miss Bill, because I still have him. But I miss the life we had together ...........so much. I just feel the need to tell everybody don't take that wonderful life for granite. Celebrate it everyday day. Make more memories together. They help me get thru the hard days.
I guess the lirics from "Live like your Dying" mean alot more to me now. Also a song I always loved to hear the Nobles play but I never knew why I loved it so much, " I'm lonely but nobody know it but me". Oh, the best the George Jones song, "He stopped loving her today". Years and years ago, I was sitting in a bar in one of those old hotels on Tulane Ave., back when they were OK. They had karioke night, The Mag 7 and were sitting, drinking and singging along, when this guy came up and sang that song I had never heard it before and I started crying. It is a very sad song of a very deep love lost.
Oh great it's 7:30AM and I already need my anti-depressant pill....oh, can you tell.
Love Ya Lots

I also cried with your special thoughts. I will cherish them along with all the ones I keep close including the memories of that night we shared at the ER at EJ. I apologize for not calling enough, but know that you are both in my heart and mind always. My love to you both and the new life and family you share.
What is with that first comment? How horrible!
