There are certain days that bring back joyful and sometimes painful memories. I always think I will get past those days with no thoughts, unfortunately that just doesn't happen. No matter how many days, months or years pass by, something stirs the heart and soul; you don't know what it is, then you check the calendar and then you know. Today was a joyful day, 46 years ago, I married my best friend. Our life together was many ups and downs. There were good times and then the bad ones seemed to creep in. But, no matter how bad they might have been, we weathered them, because we shared everything. I believe that there is one person you are destined to be with, to share everything with and no matter what, the love is unconditional. I was lucky; I found the love of my life when I was young and God gave us 34 years, 3 months and 28 days together. We were given two wonderful Sons to love, and those Sons gave us four beautiful grandchildren. The legacy lives on in those six individuals. I see his smile in our Sons, and his loving heart in our grandchildren. There is a big hole in my heart that will never close, and everyday I see something that reminds me of what has been lost. So, today being the anniversary of beautiful start together, it seems fitting that I can say: I loved you more than life, and I miss you more with every passing day. Thank you for making my life important, for loving me, and the guidance to become who I am today.
