This one hurts my heart. I saw Richard (after years of having lived out of state) when returning home last summer. I walked outside of the bar & he was standing there. I was filled with joy & his smile told me he felt the same. I told him how handsome he looked, how great it was to bump into him; he blushed, thanked me & flashed that charming smile. We said our goodbyes after a few moments of catch up & today, I am thankful that I had that opportunity.
From playing on snow days as neighbors when we were young, to bumping into you when we had grown – you never failed to make me laugh.
May your soul be at peace & your loved ones be filled with joyful memories.
The love of my life. Everyday was a blessing with you. I am so happy to be your wife. Until we meet again babe
