One Year...

Rick, how can it be? One year since I have seen into your eyes, heard your voice, felt your touch.  In all those 34+ years together we spent less than 10 nights apart. How can it be that I have now spent 365 nights without you? 
Do you know how much I loved you then? How much I love you still? Do you know how I miss you like crazy?
Oh sweetheart,  I still don't know how to do this without you. I'm trying, but it feels like I fall more than I stand. I am scared. Empty and oh so lonely. 
But i am also thankful.  For your Love,  for your care.  For all the times together.  I love you, always.

I want to say thank you to all of you. You have carried me with your thoughts,  your prayers,  your Love,  and your sweet words of encouragement.  Thank you. For your chats, your texts, your phone calls, the visits, the hugs. For everything you have done for me,  for my children,  for my grandchildren. I could not be where I am today in this grief without you. ♡♡♡ I love you.

We all lost a year ago when Rick died. We all grieve.
He was an honorable man.
He leaves an emptiness inside each of us.

Today, please think about and pray for my children and my grandchildren.  Also for Rick's parents, sister, and family. 

I would ask that you honor his memory, his legacy, today...
hug someone and give them a forehead kiss...
lift a glass of your favorite drink to him...
And be thankful.

I love you, my Sweetheart of sweethearts.
Your Meg, forever and always.
