Awww, what a sweet tribute to your husband. You've written a beautiful and touching poem of your current feelings and former memories. I hope you do something exciting to celebrate his birthday.

Hugs,
Rhonda

Those must be the hardest times birthdays or anniversaries, this was really good reading, and if anything is possible to do it's these golden moments when you remember those precious and bring them to light, especially because you are in touch with these moments, beautifully written Carol, , blessings Roy

    Thanks so much, Roy.

This was a very touching .I understand what you have gone through .To say 'its alright to leave' can be heartbreaking.. he is looking out for you from above . In greek mythology it is saidthat even Gods become jealous'..In time you will be with him...

Oh, Carol. You and Mike had something that few people have - an extraordinary love and it is just as strong, if not even stronger although he's in Heaven. You're in Heaven, too. We're all there since our souls are eternal and outside of time. But right now our bodies are here. When it's our turn you'll have a lot of Fanstory friends to introduce to Mike.

    He will laugh and say "I knew you'd bring a party with you...where's the food?" I am blessed with his memories but I sure wish I could hear his laughter.

Very moving, and I hope it is healing, even though it would have been so hard to write. Your memories are beautiful, and the details bring them to life for the reader. It's a special kind of love you have experienced with him, and you are honouring your promise to him to keep writing. He knew that's what you needed to do.
Hugs.
Wendy

    I almost quit the other day but it was like I could hear him (in my head) saying "Don't you dare. You promised." I just miss his laughter so much. Thanks as always, Wendy.

This is very touching, and when emotions like this are put into words they sound so much louder and stronger. I hope you receive joy form expressing your heart in this way. It is refreshing to be able to read a tribute like this and to think of it as the tribute it truly is. So well expressed.

Carol,
Your poignant piece is so beautiful. It really touched me.
I lost my fiancé almost 30 years ago, and like you, I watched as the love of my life died. I was at his side, my heart breaking, watching his heartbeat on the monitor fade; the same heart I felt so many times when I put my head on his chest, feeling true love.
Your poem reminded me of this moment. Was your husband's name Mike, like your son?
Wonderful photo, your husband looks so happy.
You have my heart tonight, Carol, as I know a little of what you're going through.
God bless you,
Cindy

    Yes...Mikey was my little boy from my other marriage. It's a mere coincidence but they were good friends (the sheriff arrested him each day when Mike came home from work). Maybe that's how we ended up together years later. Life is full of mysteries.
    Smiles, Carol

I'm sitting here and I am listening and I will probably listen to this again having tears in my eyes. You see the reason I have tears in my eyes is that in three short days it will be 29 years since my dear husband went to his glory in heaven. I remember so vividly the last words that I had to say to him was the night before he passed away and I had to go home to get some rest so before I left, I said,"I'll see you in the morning.",and morning." It's still coming for me Patricia.

This is a beautiful tribute to Mike on his birthday. I'm glad you're keeping your promise to keep writing. I know this one must have been difficult. You've used very good descriptions, and I enjoyed reading your memories. Prayers & hugs! Carol

Had to give Mike a six star review. How could I not with your memories being so incredibly beautiful!

I truly believe that we will be reunited with our loved ones. No....believe is too weak. I know. At the risk of sounding crazy, I was shown to the point of removing all doubt.

I will write about it one day.

Happy Birthday, Mike! Wish I had more than a sixer to give.

    It doesn't sound crazy to me at all. I have been blessed with several incidents that I haven't written about because people already think I am stretching everything...It's a writing site. If you don't like what you see, skip it and move on.
    Thanks for evrything, Doug. You certainly know how to lift my spirits.
    Smiles, Carol
