Day 6
Today I am thankful that for over 20 years God trusted me with the love of a man who loved me unconditionally, treated me as an equal, and gave me great joy in my life. Bobby would be 65 years old today and even though he has been gone for over two years still gives me great joy through all the wonderful memories that I have of him and our life together.
I have said that the day we had Bobby's funeral I not only buried my spouse but also my best friend. We worked together, we played together, and we loved each other enough that even with all the togetherness we respected each other's need for alone time.
I have said that he was not perfect and neither am I but he was perfect for me. I cherish the way he made me feel about him, about life, and about myself. As I flounder around now finding my way by myself he also left me the confidence to survive on my own and hopefully one day again to have that same relationship with another man. It won't be to replace what we had but something new of it's own that I can enjoy knowing that I have his blessing.
So far it has been a teary day but in all ways Bobby would remind me that I am a survivor. So today I not only acknowledge thanksgivings but thanks living.
