5 Years

With him, today.

Life is good.  And life is especially good spending it with someone you love, and someone who without a doubt, loves you back.  I couldn’t be more proud today than to say happy anniversary to my husband.  I can’t believe it’s been 5 years already!  We’ve accomplished a lot, had some failures too, but life still gets sweeter each day and each year.  I love our little family and feel extremely blessed.

So what will we be doing on this special day?  Well, we are going out to dinner to our favorite restaurant that we can only go to once a year (it’s like fancy–I’ll have to dress up), and then a movie.  Haven’t done that in ages.  And the little one is spending the night at Grandma’s for the very first time!  She’s never spent the night away so I’m sure I’ll be texting my mom every 10 minutes to make sure she’s ok.  Yes, I’m nervous and yes I’m an over-protective mom.  But maybe after tonight if all goes well, we’ll make this a regular thing.  I’m sure I could get used to it. :)

And in other non-anniversary news, just a reminder today is the last day to submit your projects to Crafting With the Stars. The contest closes tonight at 8:00 p.m. MST.  Then the voting begins and I’d love to get to work with some of you!

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Happy Anniversary! Hope you have a fantastic night out. Don’t stress too much over leaving her with mom (afterall, mom raised you, right?). They will have a grand time I am sure!

    Happy Anniversary!!! Enjoy and don’t text too much – your daughter is in good hands. The key the grandparents need to know is “redirect”! When she starts asking for her mama, “redirect” quickly and swiftly!!! It’s exhausting but works like a charm!

    Congratulations on 5 years! I hope you had a great anniversary. I’m sure your little girl did just fine at grandma’s. I remember the first time i was away from my little boy for the first time. The next morning I could hardly wait to get home to him! =)

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
