Good Day-- still dark here--but-- It is a special day--It is Himself's Birthday--TO_DAY--He is 97 years young--and--He is in Heaven--Hold onto those you love--tight!!-
-So my Dear Husband--I do miss you---I know that you were not ready to go there-to Heaven---yet----- You must wait there for me--For some reason, you left me behind-- maybe to look after all the kids??-----I know that you had a reason to get there--to Heaven, before me--
We are celebrating your Birthday to-day--at Son#1's restaurant------I am bringing a cake --and we will sing to you--You must've forgotten to tell me that you were going to Heaven when you did--You see, I did not want you to leave me here--
I heard you sing the other day-- You sang "Montego Bay"--I was driving back home from taking the garbage up to Dunlop--and -- I was heading home--down the hill , in the car, and was feeling sorta afraid, and then you sang--- I felt a lot better when I heard "Montego Bay-It came thru the radio loud and clear-----knew it was you--
So my love--my Dear man-- What are you doing there in Heaven?-- Do you see Lopez and I here?--and all the kids?--Allison misses you terribly--well, We all do--Can you come to the restaurant to-night--to
Andrews?--Speaking of Andrew's--Lisa and he, have been most kind to me--have me over fr supper a lot--and it really helps to eat with people--
I REALLY MISS YOU--- You were my "rock"---always did the right thing--always stood beside me-- directed me-I wish you were still here-- -There must've been a reason that you went to Heaven first eh?--I should say "thank you"--but--- I miss you SO SO much!----I don't like being here alone-- so please stick around --close-- help me to get thru each day--even play some Calypso music to let me know that you are close--Now I am crying--Can you help me stop these tears?----let me know how you are--what you are doing--- I am sorry that I am so sad--Can you watch over all of us--?--help us to accept that you are near--- not gone--but--- near--
I love you--need you--- WE ALL NEED YOU__big hugs my love!--

ReplyDeleteHUGS, HUGS and more HUGS!
Those tears are an emotional release, so let them flow when they appear. Or, something else I would do with tears of sorrow, was to beat my pillow with my tennis racket.
My Mom passed in 2002 and we 5 kids and families gathered on her birthday anniversary every year at her favorite place to eat -- Luby's Cafeteria -- until they tore it down a few years ago. Now we do a group text sharing stories of our childhood and how grateful we are that we were blessed with great parents. Dad passed at Thanksgiving in 1997 so our gatherings around that event serve as his memorial meal.
HUGS, HUGS and more HUGS!
Susan
Oh Susan---Thank you for sharing--You Are so good to meet --- Your Mom would appreciate all of you-- hard to keep going without my "best half"--You all help me however--a lot--Thank yu for writing--L>ynda
DeleteGood Afternoon Lynda, Lopez & Sushi,
ReplyDeleteMy heart went out to you this afternoon, as I caught on reading your blogs. I've been MIA with doctors and health stuff, so I was behind. Happy Heavenly Birthday to Himself! His birthday is 2 days after my sister's 80th, can you believe that, yep 80th birthday. I'm going to take her to lunch one day next week. I mean what can you get someone who has practically everything one would want. I just wanted you to know that I think about you and how you are doing. I look so forward to reading your daily blogs. I hope you know that you are appreciated and I get a lot of insight from you. Please take care. Hugs.
Yu get insight from me?--And--I get insight from you--all of you--Thank yu for telling me that--hard to keep on----I appreciate all of you for writing-- It means a lot to me to hear from you and I thank yu-Lynda
DeleteSending my heartfelt thoughts to you this day. It's ok to cry, it's ok to pour out your feelings - now smile and cherish what you have with your lovely family. They are your strength to continue on during this season of your wonderfilled life. And remember, they draw strength from you, too.
ReplyDeleteYes I suppose they do draw strength from me-- I must remember that-Lynda
Delete((((HUGS)))) and it is wonderful that you are celebrating Fred's birthday tonight as a family. That will make him happy. Let those tears flow! They are cathartic. Fred is always with you in the safest place possible, your heart. God bless you. Happy Birthday, Fred.
