Valentine's Day is staring me in the face at work. hearts and bears and love and kisses.
all i can think about is the love he had for me, i have for him, the embraces we shared, the touching, the constant touching.
i have vivid memories that include sounds and smells, the feelings i had about where we lived.
"i love thee, i love but thee with a love that shall not die, 'till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old." ~ Shakespeare. what he recited to me as part of our wedding vows.
"and when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars; and he will make the face of Heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." ~ Shakespeare. recited by my daughter for me at his funeral on Valentine's Day.
because i had not voice.....because i could not speak. and i write here rather than continue to try and find someone to talk to anymore, because i still need to have a voice.....because i have things i'd like to say......because i still have not had the chance to actually speak to a living person about him. so writing is my voice. the written word is my way of speaking about him.

i bought myself something. when it comes, i'll post a photo of it. {Bunny loves cliffhangers.}
it's coming. that period of time when all i can think about is him, and time.
i am still in love with you, Dragon. so very much.

When you have the kind of life you and I had--and then found the kind of love you and I found--I don't think that feeling we have for our "saviors" will ever fade.
It's coming for me too Feb 1, 2 years for my love, one year for my Mom, same day sadness permeates my soul. Every year I hope I've moved on, but then it all is right there in my face again. I will be thinking of you on these upcoming dates, as you will be thinking about your Dragon.
Holding you in my heart
