Sixteen Years

I have been without my "Hon" for sixteen years today, and of course am missing him. One never gets used to such a loss, one only endures and goes on.

But he is not gone--I see his charisma in Brandon, his red hair and sweet heart in Maddie, his impish sense of humor in Ella, and the little boy inside him who never grew up in Sam. He still lives in my heart and memory, and besides that, we have a thousand pictures and videos to enjoy.

Thank you God for memory, good times, and the promise of being with you and the ones we love forever.
