So friends another year has come. Another year to scream. NO, I’m not ready yet! This can’t happen yet! We had so many plans!
Three years ago today my husband passed on our 23rd wedding anniversary. I was with him in the hospital as I watched him slowly go with my step-daughter. It was devastating as you can imagine. He was a fighter through illness that slapped him in the face. He was the greatest husband, father (to his and mine), pawpaw and great pawpaw, son and overall human. We were blessed were blessed to call him ours. He was blessed because we gave him that same strong love in return.
He reminds us that he is always around by leaving bird droppings on our cars. Believe me, we have ALL noticed the uptick in this. We all look to the Heavens and say, ‘damn it Vaughn’, then we laugh. It’s typical of his sense of humor.
So I’m yelling, screaming, shouting into the void - tell your family and friends you love them. Be there for them. Hug them. Laugh or cry with them. Sit with them. Just do it, you’ll need those memories to sustain you in difficult times. Love you all my friends!!
