IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS
You know; when you lose someone you love...sometimes it is the simple everyday things that you miss the most....like hugs. Danny was a good hugger......
Once he had his arms around me, I felt safe....nothing nor no one scared me....no problem was too big for me to handle....because no matter what; I knew he had my back. I knew he would be there to catch me if I fell. I trusted him completely.
I miss him so much.
Whenever I thought about our future; I always saw me and him growing old together....sitting side by side....holding hands....and I use to worry about if , when the time came that we had to go into a nursing home, if they would separate us...and I would vow to myself, that as long as I had breath in my body that they would not because we had never been separated.
Ah...but life had other plans for us....we would not make it to the "growing old together" part....and we were, after all, in the end.....
Separated from one another.
It has been over two years since he died and not a day has gone by that he did not occupy a large part of my mind....and all of my heart. Because of this, it is still very hard for me to concentrate on anything else for any length of time....But with the Lord's help, I am trying ...
I am trying.
Hug that special someone you love tonight...and let them know that they are loved.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Carlene, as long as you have all your dearest memories of Danny's and your life together, you will never be separated. In physical, yes, but in spirit, no. I know you can still feel his arms around you. I am sure that when you go to bed at night, you can sense him there. He is sitting across from you at the table. Anyone who had a loving relationship that you and Danny had can never really be separated.
Yes, it is the little things that we miss the most. What do they say, "the sweetest things comes in small packages?" So, even the smallest memory is precious.
God bless you Carlene. There are so many of us that wish we had the memories that you have. Treasure them. Love you, Mary -
I appreciated your reminder to hold those we cherish close in case we don't have tomorrow. Wishing you peace my dear friend.
