Month: December 2021

I know this time of year can be full of disappointments. It is sometimes depressing. My memories are full of joy and sorrow. After all, we have a history of being unhappy at Christmas.

I hope you don’t mind me sending flowers. You said you were dieting, so the normal box of calorie-rich goodies from your home state didn’t seem appropriate.

I want you to know I care about you. And, although you and I are opposite on many views, I’d like to express this one thought. I want you to do whatever it takes to keep yourself safe and healthy. I want you to stay well. I would never want you to suffer needlessly.

I hope you have a happy holiday and find little moments of joy – random smiles, dog hugs, and even a good cry.

Love always.

Took the dog outside for a walk today and thought of you.

 

I loved you once so much that it made me want to be a better person. I worked hard to improve myself, my home (in hopes it would become your home too). Now, that is not to say I did it all for just you. It was more that you inspired me. You gave me hope. And hope made me want more. I almost lost hope when you left…. But you showed me love was possible again. And that is the most valued gift you ever gave me. But, I still long for your love again.
