Today marks 9 months since Barclay died. I miss him every day. When I look at my photos from Amazon, I get teary-eyed at how much fun we had and what a good life we had, traveling, doing stuff, etc. Well, I am thankful we had that time, and I am also grateful he didn’t have to suffer anymore.
I had an ok walk this morning. There was a class going on, which I thought was odd, but what do I know? It was still an ok walk.
Today I’m going into town to pick up my $75 dollar prescription, which I am not thankful that it is that expensive, but I can still afford it. I also plan to go to the bookstore as I have a bag of books to drop off.
I am thankful for our nice weather, although it is strange to be so warm so early. I’ve heard people wondering if the summer is going to be brutal. Who knows ??
I did manage Costco yesterday and even picked up 2 lavender plants for the front yard. Costco has the best prices on plants. I was tempted to get a hydrangea, but the cart was full of lavender plants. I did buy the champagne to celebrate Barclay’s life when we go to New Brighton. It was one of our favorite places, and I miss camping there. We won’t be camping, obviously, but we will go down to the beach area and bring our chairs to sit for a while.
Is there something in your life you can’t do anymore for one reason or another? How did you adjust?
Hugs, dear Chris. It’s okay to be sad. Barclay meant so much to you and you shared so much life together.
I cannot go to the many places Sheila and i went to…brings back so many wonderful memories of our time together and just reinforces the void in the present. Honeymoon in st. Wolfgang on Wolfgangsee, and Strasbourg (dancing about to the sound of music), Bellagio on Lake Como, Positano on the Amalfi coast, Lake Bled and the Julian alps, Brunnen on Lucern Lucern, Montreux on Lake Geneva, and Nice and Menton on the med coast. Bur many places yet to be explored.
The best thing you can do is feel your feelings.
This kind of love never dies. Not yours. Nor his too.
