Just
some thoughts, on this Anniversary Date.
“Someone
to Give My Love To”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CorGosCFzMw
It doesn't matter that he is no longer here - or that We has slipped a notch to Me.
I was not Bob's 1st Wife, but I was his only Wife.
Bob was not my first lover - but Bob was always the only man I ever loved.
Before I ever met Bob face to face; I had seen him from a distance and was immediately in love with him ... for 7 long years, I would close my eyes, and speak to him in a thousand silent ways.
And, even now - nearly 3 years after Bob ... I still close my eyes and speak to him in a thousand silent ways.
I have tried for the past 11,680 days to build a new life: maybe some day I'll "get it right".
And
... maybe not; that's okay, too.
I'm getting by - and that's more than I anticipated as 2018 waned and 2019 dawned.

When Bob and I finally met face-to-face in the Spring of 1974, there was no awkwardness: it was as if we'd always known each other. We understood why we were never really satisfied with anyone else: our souls had been searching for each other. As Summer drifted towards Fall in 1974, we "sealed the deal", and were joined hip & soul for 44 happy, and eventful, years.

There were 5 unexpected moments in our 44
years - meeting, marrying, the birth of our children, the births of our
grandchildren, and Bob's graduation to Heaven. ALL of them unexpected ... and
yet, the best memories of our life together.

You Loved Me”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_9QtL-L16o
Bob was a mystery until Fate brought us together.
Bob was the risk that my mother tried to talk me out of.
Bob was the most certain thing I'd ever known in my entire life - marriage was the gamble Bob talked me into taking; it was the greatest gamble of my life ... and it paid off
I never regretted marrying Bob, at 17.
Our lives were destined to be joined.
Bob was the missing piece that made my life, here on earth, complete.
