I am sure people are tired of hearing me talk about my wife Mary. But it seems to help some to tell people about her/us. I put this in our local paper this week:
My wonderful wife Mary has been gone for four months. Some how it seems to help to write about her/us. Many times I feel like going up on a roof in Stevensville and yelling to everyone what a special lady I was married to. Do not be alarmed that won't happen. Probably. When you lose a spouse you have an initial feeling of complete despair. That which you cherished is gone and will not be coming back. And of course the memories begin. I remember the Alaska cruise, the many RV campouts with friends, the many vacations, going to the coast, trips back East to see relatives , The train trip to Texas. And many more major events. All great memories. However what I remember most are the simple things we did together. Driving up Burnt Fork to see the elk, going to Valley Drug for ice cream, going out to dinner/breakfast, Just sitting close together in the family room reading, holding hands in church (which we did frequently), reaching out in the night to see if she was alright, eating together, motorcycle rides, Mary's Sweet Adeline years, I could go on and on. All wonderful memories. But memories are also bittersweet. You realize none of this will ever happen again. But sure are thankful they did. Enjoy your lives together every day. Spend as much time together as you can. I thank our many Stevensville friends. Also my Forum friends. You have been a big comfort. But especially thank you Mary for the wonderful memories. As painful as they can be at times, I cherish each and every one. When I found you I hit the jackpot. You were the best !! Love you Babe. Miss you so much. Thanks for listening. Bill
