Hi my love. It's been way too long since I've been here. Just trying to stay ahead of things and keep moving forward. I don't know what it is about me and transmissions down here, but I'm having a transmission put into the Subaru now. Just when I thought I was getting ahead and was going to be able to put the tax refund into the savings account this year. I guess I should have known better. Oh well... Today I was out in the backyard playing with Timber before I got ready to trim my hedges and suddenly I felt your ring fly off of my finger. Not really concerned about mine, but I am devastated over losing yours. It felt like I had lost you all over again!! I got so angry at myself, at Timber, and God for letting me be so stupid as to keep wearing it on my finger when I knew that my wedding band was getting loose. So after 3 hours of searching on my hands and knees through the high grass, and having myself one of the longest cries I've had since I lost you, I said a prayer, took a shower, and voila! I should have known that God and you are always by my side and I am never alone. I looked online and found someone with a metal detector right here in Talking Rock about 20 minutes away! His name is Greg Bradford and when I spoke to him I knew that my prayers had been answered. Hopefully next Monday I will have your ring back and from here on I will be wearing it around my neck with the other one. So I guess the lawn will have to wait until next Monday for sure now. Even though I couldn't do it until then anyway, because the tractor needs a new battery as well. Can't afford to buy that until next Friday. So today I really didn't get anything done that I wanted to. Finding money still a little bit tight and I still have to send back the two social security checks that I got earlier this year. Can't afford to do that right now either until I reach 67 I'm afraid. Then I don't have to cut back on my hours at work when I start taking your check. So now I have another 5 years to wait. The way it's going, I guess I have to be careful so that I can make sure I live long enough to start taking it. : / So glad you're not here to see what a mess these idiot liberals have made of this country. It's an absolute disaster and getting worse everyday. Don't know what things are going to look like in another 2 years, but if it keeps going this way it's going to be horrific! I have such a great team on my side. Between you and the good Lord, I know somehow or another I'll come through this next couple of years. In the meantime, you'll still be hearing from me everyday, Babe and I'll still be putting one foot in front of the other, knowing you're right by my side. Good night my love.
Love, Me

Hi My Love,
Yesterday was a tough day for me. I still can't believe it's been 5 years already. I tried to do this yesterday, but the only thing that would come out was tears. I managed to get through the day by spending a lot of time with Timber as it was his 6th birthday as well. He has been a godsend to me since you have been gone. So between him and things watching Hallmark Christmas movies that I had taped before Christmas, I made it through the day. I heard from LJ, and both of your sisters yesterday. The three of them have been such a huge help. Even more than most of my family except for Fred. Still trying to figure out a way to make it down to Florida again. Perhaps for the holidays this year...
Today has been a little bit easier, but still I find myself wandering around kind of in a fog every once in awhile. So much going on with the reset. I missed a lot being off yesterday, but so far have been managing to find most things. I think it's just my mental fog that's making things a little more difficult than normal.
I guess this is just the next adventure that I'm off on...as always with you by my side, and in my heart.
Love, Me

Widget...the only cat I ever saw you tolerate... Her last few months here with me were good. I couldn't let her go to the pound. Somehow I knew you'd understand. But unfortunately today I had to make the decision to let her go. She was just so sick by the time she came back to me. So keep an eye out for her. As much as I know you're not fond of cats, I'm sure you'll make room for her in our pack. Still love you and miss you each and every day. Still not used to my new "normal".
Love Always,
Me

Happy 73rd birthday my love! A week from today is the day we always celebrated our birthdays. Birthdays. So this year I am going to the Cajun Depot here in town. As always it will be bittersweet, but I can't imagine any other way to celebrate our birthdays.
Widget seems to be settling in just fine. I'm sure if you were here she probably would have been one of our few disagreements as I know how much you "love" cats. However I'm sure you wouldn't have wanted her to end up at the pound after Tom passed away. You always had such a big forgiving heart.
My trip home was a good one. Your sister is doing a wonderful job maintaining our headstone. I needed so badly to be able to see it.
Still miss you so much. But as always, fwith the help of family, friends, and the good Lord, I am managing to keep moving forward looking toward the next adventure adventure with you always at my side and always in my heart.
Love, Me

Hello my love. It's only been 4 years but it's been the hardest 4 years of my life. I have to say happy birthday to Timber today as well. He turned five. He's been a godsend during this time. So today I went to church and found comfort in the words and the hymns. I think I found my home Church finally. First United Methodist Church in Ellijay. I know you weren't much of a churchgoer, but this is something I've needed. It's something that's been missing in my life. I'm glad that I have a chance to go now. I'm going to be starting a new job on the 15th. I'll work Tuesday through Saturday so I'll still be able to go to I'm slowly getting the Christmas decorations put away. Everything's all wrapped up and put back in their boxes for another year. The tree is bare. Didn't look anything like the ones we had at Mom's. But it was pretty because it was ours. Tomorrow I'll get that taken out of the house and drag it into the woods. The outdoor Christmas lights I'll take down next weekend. There's still so pretty and I enjoyed looking at them so much. We have new neighbors again. Couple in their mid-30s with a little Pitbull who is so sweet. His name is Odin. Hopefully it'll be a new friend for timber. They seem nice. I miss you so much my love. I'll keep putting one foot in front of the other because I know it's what I need to do and I'm sure you're disappointed in me that I'm not doing better than I am. I'm sorry for that. But I am doing what I need to do and I will continue to do that. With your love and God's help I will continue to move forward. I'm lucky to have such good friends down here and family who have remembered today. It does help some. Just know that I will always love you and always miss you and will always have you in my heart. Love always, Me

3 and 1/2 years it's been at 1:52 p.m. today. I guess I'm glad I'm busy at work and that I manage to stay busy on my days off. If I don't stay busy, I sit in front of the television and just play with Timber. My special boy has helped me so much. The fact that he was born one year to the day before you passed was obviously a sign that he was meant to be with me. I think you would like the dog he's become. If you could grow to love Dusty I think this one would have been a piece of cake. Today is my day to clean my own house so I will be busy all day long. I'm going to go to T.R.R. for dinner tonight with Jackie and I am so looking forward to it! The last time I was there, was July 8th for what would have been our 25th anniversary. It wasn't as hard as the first time I went, but still there were times I couldn't see the food on my plate. I had a steak for you and I brought home a big piece of chocolate cake. Not that I needed it but...I even ordered a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Needless to say I brought most of that home. And again when I went to pay the bill, I found that there wasn't a bill! I was sitting back in the corner where I thought I wasn't going to be intruding on other diners, but apparently some wonderful people said something to my waitress, Ashley and she told them that I was here celebrating our 25th anniversary. They paid for my meal! It was then that I just totally lost it. Suddenly I had 3 waitresses around me giving me hugs and saying how wonderful you must have been...they couldn't have been more right!!! It's just another reason that I know that we picked the right place to move to. Good people everywhere I turn. I hope that I have a chance to someday pay these kindnesses forward. Well I think it's time that I finish cleaning our house. I feel you with me every day. On the days that I need it, I feel you even more. So be happy for me my love, because between you and the good Lord I'm sure I will make it through. Know that I love you always.
Love Always, Me

3 years!! How could it possibly be 3 years when it feels like just yesterday. I think today has been harder than the last 2 years combined because this is the first year that I've felt like I'm not in a fog everyday. Everyone says the 2020 has been a bad year for them because of the covid virus, but I have just felt like my heart is getting ripped out everyday that you're not here. I understand the grief that people are going through because of loved ones that they've lost and I don't wish that on anyone. I have wonderful friends down here who have helped me get through the day. Michelle, Fannie, Jennifer G, and Charla. And let me not forget my wonderful birthday boy, Timber. Without him I probably wouldn't have survived as well as I have this past 3 years. I know you want me to be happy. Maybe someday I will be, but not right now. I smile when I think of a wonderful life we had together and then I burst into tears. I will try as I do each day, to make you proud of me but I am afraid I fall sadly short. Please don't be angry with me my love, for I miss you so much. I know your son and your sisters have had a difficult day today as well and I've held them in my heart close to me throughout the day. It does make me feel better knowing that I have such wonderful people in my family.
So tomorrow I will get up, get dressed and go to work and try to pretend it's just another day. I'm sure it will get better, but I don't know when and I can't spend each day worrying about when it will get better. It will happen when and if it happens. Just know that I will always love you and I feel your love everyday.
Love, Me

Happy birthday my love! I know the date on this will say the 18th, but for me since I haven't been to bed yet, it's still the 17th and therefore your birthday. I stayed home from work today so that I could celebrate your birthday. We had a wonderful steak dinner... just the way you liked it. (Timber enjoyed his too.) This Covid thing still hasn't affected me all that much. I get up, go to work, come back home to Timber. I've tried to do some traveling the way we had planned on doing. Spent 3 days in Savannah with Timber. We had a nice time, but it wasn't as much fun as having you there to share it with. I still miss you so much. Mostly your smile and your strength. Most of the time I feel like the wind has gone out of my shells and I'm just drifting. I suppose it's gotten a little bit better, but thoughts of you bring a smile to my face and then tears to my eyes.
I know you want me to keep my chin up and so I will. I will continue to move forward and try and make you proud. But I will also continue to miss you with every fiber of my being. So I will continue on with my adventure and love you always. Happy birthday My Love! Me

My Love... 23 months ago we said goodbye. I am surrounded by friends down here end up north and yet I am so alone. December 27th through January 30th will probably be the hardest periods of my life from here on in. I love you and miss you each day. Each time I think of you I cry for all the time we missed together. And then I smile for all the wonderful wonderful times we had. I love you! Love always, Me

I'm not sure how I made it through the 30th couple of days ago. I still miss you so much! I get through each day somehow, go to bed and wake up and try and do it all over again. I miss your encouragement, your strength, and most of all your smile. I still don't like my new "normal"...somehow I don't think I ever will. Karen and Billy came by a month ago. Had a nice time with them. And now I guess the whole family's up in New York all together... Except me. I wish someone had said something to me because I would have gone up with them. It would have been nice to go visit the cemetery to see the grave. I miss not having that down here to be able to visit. But it's probably best it's up there at home because I'd be there an awful lot. I love you and will always miss you.

1:52 p.m. one year ago today you sweetly said goodbye. I didn't know that I could possibly miss you more than I did in that moment, but this past year has just reinforced that feeling. At times I feel lost and alone though I've made many friends here and all of our friends up north have kept in touch. It's been a year of great reflection as I've traveled this road with you in my heart instead of by my side. Sometimes I feel so absorbed by my grief that I forget I have friends here that have been going through their own trials and tribulations. For that I feel badly. I don't feel as strong as people keep telling me I am. I talk to you quite frequently and poor Timber looks at me like I've lost my mind. Our memories together are seared in my heart for all eternity and I go to them quite frequently... especially when I am missing you more than usual.
So I will continue on my love as though you are by my side. I will try to make you proud Baby. I will make sure that you always have a smile on as you keep watch over me. Though my heart is still broken and may never heal fully, in time I'm sure that I will find the strength that you knew I had. In the meantime though, I will still cry myself to sleep on occasion and your smile will always be the first thing I see in the morning... And the last thing I look at at night... Love Always, Me

Dec 27th...the beginning of the end 1 year ago today... The airlift to Atlanta... I packed a bag for a few days for you thinking you'd be home soon. And I had you home again on January 1st.... Little did we know you be going back again. Christmas this year was much the same as it was last year except for your absence. Today has been hard as I remember everything that happened a year ago. It doesn't seem like that long ago... Outwardly it doesn't seem like my life has changed all that much...But inside I feel like I'm falling apart. Our friends have rallied around me down here and the ones that we love from up North. Timber has been a wonderful source of comfort for me. but still I feel empty inside. I never knew I could love someone as much as I love you. Nor could I have possibly imagined how wonderful it felt to be loved by you. So as many tears as I have shed over the last year, countless have been the smiles as I remember. Until Timber and I will move forward as we have together since July. I will get through this coming month by putting one foot in front of the other as I have for the last year. But I do not go down this road happily as I did while I had you by my side. I love you Sweetheart... Always.

Thanksgiving...as I look at the pictures of last Thanksgiving in FL with Karen & the rest of the family, I am thankful for having that time to share with them...you had such a wonderful time & we left looking forward to spending many more w/ them... little did we know. Our wonderful neighbors, Fannie & Marvin are making sure I'm not alone tomorrow... I am missing our families this holiday season. That's what makes tomorrow difficult. As for it being hard because you aren't here...yes & no...every day is hard because you aren't here. Thanksgiving is "just another day" when it comes to that. So I will go & spend time w/ my adopted family here & I will be thankful. But I am still trying to learn to live without you & it is not easy...you have taken a huge piece of my heart. So I will say a prayer of thanks for the blessings of family & friends...and cry myself to sleep. Love Always, Me

Leslie and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of cousin Larry. Some of my fondest memories are of taking family summer vacations on Schoharie Creek at the farm where You and Larry would go above and beyond to make us feel at home. You guys would always make sure we had enough water for our stay, had clean sheets for the beds, and the yard was freshly mowed! I will cherish the memories of hunting trips on the farm chasing deer and turkey. Larry was always giving me advice on where to go, and although I never did shoot any deer the turkey hunting was amazing. I loved sharing stories of the hunt with Larry and he always took time to listen. I will also miss our yearly cookouts at turkey camp outside the outfitter tent down by the old barn. Fresh turkey breast wrapped in bacon and venison hot dogs with mustard not ketchup! I will never forget how you, Larry, and Aunt Polly allowed me to stay at the cabin while I was getting my start with the NYSDEC and working out of the Herkimer Office. I remember Larry (and you too Les) coming over often during my stay to help with either the wood stove or the water pump/heater so I didn't freeze my butt off or have to take a freezing cold shower. Sometimes Larry would just come down to sit by the stove and chat.
I will miss Larry...my condolences to you and the rest of the family.

A memory I think of often, is I was 8 years old when my brother Larry left our home for college. It is a difficult transistion for younger siblings when their older siblings leave the home and I remember being upset over this change. He gave me a bracelet before he left and I still have it. After he was settled and attending college, I would receive hand written letters of multiple pages from him. Not realizing at the time but realzing in my adult life just how awesome this was and what it said about his character. I don't care what era it is, the fact a teenage boy attending college takes the time to write his little sister not one but several letters is awesome. Although I do not have these letters today, I still have the memory.
I am heart broken.

My favorite memory of Larry was the "shoot-out" at the farm. It was summer, a beautiful, warm, sunny day. Larry and Leslie had set up a practice range -- hay bales with paper bullseyes and tin cans, plastic milk jugs filled with water, and watermelons with painted faces. It was a pot-luck. Can't remember what I brought. I showed up with my Ithaca deer-slayer 20-20 shotgun. Never shot it before. Larry cleaned it for me and oiled up the trigger (it was stuck). He taught me how to hold it, sight, and shoot. It was a very fun day. I will never forget it and I will never forget Larry. His bright and ready smile was infectious. Thank you, Larry, for your kind heart and warm and giving soul. You made my life better.
