Dear Donnie,
Here I face yet another holiday without you. I am remembering last New Years Eve with you. As we danced and your arms were around me, I knew in my heart that it would be our last. I tried to soak up every memory and every moment of what exactly that felt like. I tried to embed the feeling of your arms around me in my memory so I could reach in and revisit that memory whenever I wanted to once you were gone. I remember what it felt like. I never felt more safe in this world than when I was in your arms.
Facing this New Year without you is scary. Some days I don’t know how I will get thru. But it is on those days that I reach into my memory bank and revisit those memories to help get me thru. Still knowing and still believing that you are still with me all I have to do is close my eyes to see you and feel you there.
Thank you for so many wonderful memories to choose from. I miss you everyday.
I love you
Always and Forever
Robin
I wrote the following a few months ago but wanted to share it.
When you miss me
When you miss me
Close your eyes
I know you can’t touch me
But can you feel me?
I am there with you
In your heart
holding you close
When you miss me
Close your eyes
Stop for a moment
remember how we met
And how wonderful it was
Falling in love
When you miss me
Close your eyes
Remember that laughter
the tears
the life we had together
And know how blessed we were.
For the love we shared
When you miss me
Close your eyes and listen
I am there
I am the whisper of the wind
Saying I love you
And wrapping my love around you
When you miss me
Close your eyes
And forgive me
know that I didn’t want to leave you
But it was time for me to go
When you miss me
Close your eyes
search for me
I am still there
Helping you to go on
wanting you to go on
Giving you the strength
To find your place in the world without me.
