Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!

On this day in 1988, John and I were married in the Church. We had eloped in 1981 but then, after John's annulment, we had our marriage blessed. John also converted to Catholicism and was baptized, had his First Holy Communion and Confirmation all at the same ceremony. It was lovely.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

46 years ago today we had our first date and a wonderful life was born.

I love you, John.

Happy Bunkie Day!

John moved in with me 44 years ago today. A wonderful day that he called Bunkie Day. We celebrated it every year.

I love you and miss you so much, John.

Happy Valentine's Day, Sweetheart!

 And thank you for the wonderful beautiful sign you sent today.

I love you.

A Christmas message

I gift myself Christmas presents from John every year.  I know he didn't buy them, of course. But I like to think he would have if he were here. But even though I tell myself that, it's still not the same thing as getting something really from him.

But this year was different.

I met a dear friend for lunch a couple of days ago. And we exchanged Christmas presents. Hers to me touched my heart.

It was a Willow Tree figurine. I love them and have many. But I didn't have this one.

It's called Messenger and the note from the company says "Bringing comfort and love from afar". My friend said she felt especially inspired to buy this for me. I KNOW that was John. He sent me a real present from him this year.

Thank you. Thank you for my dear dear friend. Thank you for John's love. 

Namaste.

Merry Christmas!

 

 

I miss our Christmases.

Merry Christmas, Sweetheart!
