My love ...

I was a wife for just 4 months shy of 35 years. I have been a widow now for 15 days.
This is a way for me to remember and to share those 35 years together. I will be sharing thoughts and prayers, pictures, some of what made me love Rick - and some of what made me want to pinch his head off at times. LOL

When I was but 4 years old, my daddy and momma were out driving and looking for a pea patch one early summer day. Daddy stopped at a house where a man was working in the yard. Daddy got out and as he was talking to this man, the man bent down and began to draw a map of sorts on the ground. In just a moment, a small boy (momma said he looked to be about 6 years old) came running around the corner of the house - all dressed as a cowboy. Cowboy hat, jeans, shirt, toy guns in a holster strapped to his waist. That little boy jumped up on his daddy's back and hollered - "Give me a ride, horsey!"
My mother, sitting in the car with me, watched this little boy for a moment. And then she said - "That little boy would make a fine husband for my Margaret."

15 years later ... my mother was right! That little boy, Ricky Lee McCoy, made a FINE husband for me!!!!! And for the next 35 years, right until he took his last breath - he was a FINE husband to me, for me. Many times I asked him if he knew just how fine he was to me. Many times since I have reminded him just how fine he still is to me.

I love you sweetheart ... I loved you before this wedding day ... I have loved you since. I will always love you!

​
God is God over the storms in my life & world -
and I am His.
Trusting in Him. Holding to His Promises as He holds me.

​
Learning to laugh, to love, & to live ... again - without Rick, but with God

Life goes on ... even when we don't want it to.

Great grief is indicative of a great Love.

Rick, my Sweetheart.
Margaret, his Beloved.
Always & Forever.
