Let me tell you what I did on our anniversary and I know anyone else who hasn't been through this will believe I am nuts but anyone walking in our way totally understands. Stay strong.. I'll be waiting to hear you the day goes for you
Judith,
You may feel free to "dump" on me anytime. It's not really dumping to share the burden of grief with someone who totally understands the emotions and strain you are going through.
My husband loved a really good Porterhouse steak. So I made for us both and cut it in half put that portion in the container. Then I bought a split bottle of our special champagne. Took out our special glasses that we bought on our cruise that we took on our 2nd anniversary. It was really a honeymoon since we bought the house I gave up a big trip and a diamond just to have a home with him. That was everything to me. Our home...
Anyway.. It was a friday night luckily. So after our son went to bed.. I ate my half of the half-gave his half to our dog(I know I know strange as it sounds-it was the last thing we did as a family the 3 of us was to pick out our dog together so he means something special to me and our son). Then I drank the champagne and went to bed.. burst into tears till I cried myself to sleep. He always bought me champagne for Christmas then we saved it for our anniversary- let's just say that good champagne has a really good effect on me and he enjoyed the benefits so he never forgot to get it)
The other half that was in the container I took to the cemetary and spread it out in front of his grave along with a Sam Adams beer and some whiskey. And cried again.
Went home and hugged the heck out of a stuffed Lion I bought. Now that he was all better in heaven he was as strong as a Lion. As in the Lion King by Disney. And of course the Lion is named Richard.
My heart is with you today and I don't want to hurt you but Happy Anniversary. My strong faith tells me you are not alone that Roy is right there with you and Love does indeed carry on. Otherwise why would we even need Love. God Loves Us and he would never take something so precious from us. So feel assured that Roy is right there just as proud to be your Honey Bunny as always.
Just like I know that Richard is with me and our son during football season. He was a long long long time fan of the New England Patriots. Actually we all are still. I know he's there I'm just concerned that he's now checking out the cheerleaders since I can't see him. Such a putz.. but wait till someday when I see him.. boy is he in trouble! hahahahhahahaha
