I miss you so much, Sweetheart
This month of August is now bittersweet for me.
As the days tick by I am daily reminded that 38 years ago John and I were planning our wedding. We were engaged on August 3rd and married on August 28th.
So the memories are both sad and happy.
Yesterday, I had a meltdown while listening to a Willie Nelson song.
I try to take comfort knowing John is with me but some days I lose the battle.
I know John is still with me. I know it with every fiber of my being.
But that doesn't make the missing any easier.

Together - Always, Still
John shows me every day - sometimes in big ways, sometimes in small ways - that he is still with me.
It comforts me.
It comforts me.

A gift for my heart
Today, I was driving home from Church and, as usually happens when I am in my car, my thoughts drifted to John and our life and how much I miss him.
And then just as those thoughts were going through my mind and I was feeling especially sad, this song came on Pandora.
John Denver's My Sweet Lady.
One of my favorites and oh, so special now.
I felt as though John was speaking directly to me through John Denver's words.
Thank you, Sweetheart.

"My
Sweet Lady"
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming. I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never ever loved before
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady
I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming. I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never ever loved before
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady
I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
