At One Year - 5/21/09

Today marked the first anniversary of Warren's passing.  I got up at 3:45 a.m this morning so that I could light a candle at 4:00 a.m. and sit vigil in remembrance of everything; all the good and all the not so good things.  I talked to him and thanked him for being my husband and for the wonderful life we had together.  Then I told him it was time for me to move forward into whatever life has in store for me.  The vigil felt companionable.  I was not alone and at one point I felt someone stroke the ring finger on my left hand.

I leave you today with a few pictures from our wedding day.

    I feel a heaviness in my heart but what you have written contains both sorrow and joy. I have found myself thinking of you this week I don't know why. And now I cannot find words. God bless you.

    Thanks Jerry and Sharon.

    Bennett, you have summed it up beautifully. Today does contain sorrow and joy. That's a new place to be and I'm grateful for the shift.

    You were (are) wonderfully loved and that is a gift.

    I still think you look like Joanne Woodward.
