Happy Anniversary Lady Bug

The day has come and passed, I dreaded would last and last

22 years is not that long, that is, unless you’re gone

I wanted to spend the day with you, love, laugh, just be us

It wasn’t bad spending it with friends, trying to adjust

Your memory and image rarely left me and the hours passed

Tears filled my eyes a time or two, why are you so quiet, I was asked

You loved family game night, it was a favorite

So, I honored you as we played, laughed and joked – I knew your spirit was here with me

 I felt the support of family and for that I am grateful, the text and polos filled me with joy

The longest year is almost over. I thought October would be a tough one, but it was mild.

Thanksgiving and Christmas will sure to be empty. Support from my family and friends will lessen the void that will never be filled

Mucho Grande is how much I love you, "bunches and bunches" I hear you reply softly

Happy Anniversary Michelle my love, I hope it was a great day in heaven for you –

I miss you

Love, Brian

A love without end

Let me tell you a secret about my babydoll’s love

When I became her husband in the fall of 2k2 there was no doubt we spend our lives together as just one.

She loved me when I didn’t know I needed love.

She accepted when I didn’t know I needed acceptance.

She helped me when I didn’t know I needed help.

She held me when I didn’t know I needed to be held.

She touched my shoulder when she knew I needed to feel her touch.

She giggled when I needed a laugh.

She was present when I needed her to be present.

She gave me her all when I didn’t know I needed everything.

She loved.

She’s gone.

Now I need it.

I need comfort now, but that is not possible.

I need her to tell me it’s going to be ok.

I need her smile.

She never knew how much I loved her.

I never knew how much I’d miss her.

You truly don’t know what you have until it is gone.

I’m broken. Moving on is my only choice.

I’m crying and it doesn’t help.

I would say this isn’t fair and many would argue that life is not a carnival.

I move on, dredging more days than not.

I love you - Brian
