When I'm Gone...

 

Old Age

Yellow Flower Pots

Today I filled your yellow flower pots with new flowers. The extended cold spell this past winter took it's toloon the old ones.

I need to get them repainted. I bought the paint but I need the wind to calm down first, then Gina a place to paint them.

Saturday Pool Time

 I was up early on a Saturday, 5:45, got my 3 mile walk in then walked up to Eli's for breakfast.

After breakfast and a shower I spent some time at the pool. This time of the year it is common to be the only one there. Laid out for a while to air dry before going home.

Then I ran some errands, haircut, Paddock Mall, and Walmart for some groceries and to pick up a picture I printed from Google Photos. I found a nice 5x7 wood frame for it. I currently have it sitting on the island since I am not sure where it will end up, maybe in the bedroom or by the TV on the back wall.

                                                   

Grief

I don't know what grief will look like tomorrow.

But I'll face it.

I'll feel it.

As your memory washes over me.

One day at a time.

One wave at a time.

For such a love, grief is the price of admission.

The cost of the human condition.

So, I'll pay it over and over again until I see you again.

The love was worth it.

Magnolia Bloom

The magnolia trees by the front gate have been blooming for a while now but last night was the first that their scent was strong enough to notice.

Smile

 I miss your smile
You always had a happy with the world smile

Your favorite Greek fisherman's cap, the Burrito Works Taco restaurant in St Augustine that we always ate at, and your cat eye glasses.

Toothless

Found a good home for Toothless the Dragon.
You thought it looked a little like Stripe and sometimes you called her Toothless.

She will be Sharon and Dave's copilot, may she watch over them.

Sunrise & Rainbow

 I took to pictures on my morning walk, to the east at 6:20 to catch the sunrise, to the west at 6:28 to see a full  rainbow. I took 2, you would have taken ten to twenty. There is a big hole in my heart and life.

I miss you every day.
