Real and yet still so surreal....I suppose it is now more of a reality that my sweetie is gone. I think this is somewhat normal..some books tell you it may take awhile to realize such loss. Sometimes I think I should get in the car and go to City Of Hope and pick her up. I know this feeling will fade..but after such an incredible journey this fade may take another week or few weeks to subside. Abbey and I are doing reasonably OK with the daily walk. Some days are more 'gray' and melancholy than others and some days have a brighter tone-feel. We are staying busy with various activities. Some travel done, and more to come..looking forward to it..
Saw a video at Christmastime on Becky's phone of a very special nurse singing "OH Holy Night" just outside Becky's hospital room...lovely voice, lovely moment to view..I had tears.
Again, we are thankful, so grateful for the wonderful love being poured out on Abbey and me..WE feel it...I still think about the day of Becky's service and see that chapel overflow and I am warmed to the soul's core.. It will never leave my mind's eye, nor my heart's deepest canals..
You can have faith, you can harbor endless hope, but the greatest of these IS love.. (1 Cor 13:13)
WE love you. Thank you for journeying with us..giving us hugs, and various other avenues of support..
Big virtual hug back at you..
Celebrate life..
Bill and Abbey

ReplyDeleteHugs to you both. I think of you every day and because of that and my childhood friend's recent loss of husband, I am reminded every day to appreciate my loved ones even more. I feel guilty that your losses remind me to be grateful for what I still have. I will continue to pray for you as this year of firsts unfolds as I see a few in your near future. if there is every anything else specific that you need prayer for please let us know. loving you with prayer and virtual hugs. susan
