Dear Ted #2

Well, my love, we are going to see Knives Out today, mostly because I know how much you wanted to see it.  We'll see how I do in a theatre, in the same type of row we were in when you left me.  But, I wanted to see it for you. 

Last night I was thinking about your mustache.  I know, weird, huh.  But, you know that I have never seen you without a mustache.  Ever.  I wonder if you still have that mustache where you are.  I know that if there is a heaven that is where you are.  I can't imagine you would be anywhere else.  That mustache that on the one side was all freaky.  It didn't sit like the rest of the hairs on your face.  It stuck out, like crazy wire, here and there and everywhere.  You had me cut your hair every few weeks.  And I would trim those crazy eyebrows and then trim up your mustache.  I miss that I will never do that again.  Ever since you started working for Voice Carrier, you really haven't shaved regularly, you let your facial hair get all crazy.  You didn't really have a beard, you had long scruff.  I loved running my fingers in your scruffy beard.  And for some reason, that is one of the things I really miss.  Running my fingers through your scruffy facial hair.

I'm still dealing with anxiety.  My doctor won't refill my prescription for my tummy meds until I go in for a checkup.  Of course, they weren't in the office on Friday, so I will have to be miserable until I can get into them - hopefully this week.  If I still have this horrid rash, I will have  them look at that, too.  The stress of losing you has made me kind of a mess.  Acid reflux - having meds would help that, anxiety - that feeling of not breathing is not great and now a rash that will all the sudden itch or suddenly burn.  I've tried one of your hundreds of antibiotic cream and some of your cortisone cream.  The cortisone cream helps calm down the burn and itch for a bit.  I'm a mess without you.

I love you so much.  I keep expecting you - but you never come back.  I will make it through.  But, damn it - I just don't think it's fair that I have lost you.  Please keep my place warm.

Dear Ted #45 - Independence Day

Today is the Fourth of July.  You aren't here.  It's kind of a weird one.  No public or big fireworks shows.  No parades.  Just a low key, don't get in big crowds kind of event. We had dinner at Crystal and Brandon's.  Didn't barbecue, had pasta with alfredo, salad, watermelon, garlic bread.  It was a tasty, very different, holiday meal. Then we made smores for dessert.   The kids played in the pool.  And did some snakes and smoke bombs.  It was a good day.   When KayeLynn and I got home, we just kind of watched TV.  Then the fireworks started.  The private, big package fireworks.  I had to go out and sit for a little bit.  I had to watch.  Too many memories flooded about how much you loved fireworks.  I just had to go out and watch for a while.  It was kinda a sucky show, but there were a few good ones.  It was nice and warm outside.   I've kinda been pretty blue the last few days. ...

Dear Ted #19

Hello my love.  It's been a few days.  Not that I'm not always thinking about you, I just don't have a lot to tell you from day to day.  It's been pretty normal.  Just working and coming home and trying to accomplish something.  Generally, I don't.  I had specific plans during my days off and I don't think I accomplished but a couple.  Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming and dishes.  I didn't get your shoes gathered up.  I didn't get the bathroom countertop finished.  I didn't get most things done. I heard from Discover Card finally.  I think that is everything.  I'm not 100% sure they aren't going to go after something, but I really doubt you have hidden assets, so I don't know that there is anything to worry about.  But, you know me.  I always will worry. I went to HOA last night.  For some reason, that was giving me anxiety.  I made it through.  I got the proxies out.  They have someone to replace ...

Dear Ted - #56 - Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday my love!!  I hope you had a wonderful, heavenly birthday.  Doing whatever you wanted to do.   I made it through today ok.  I lazed in bed, not wanting to get out and face the day, for quite some time.  Then I got up.  By the afternoon, I was kind of in a groove.  But, when it came to the evening, I had a really hard time facing being by myself - staying in quarantine.  I was already out.  KayeLynn has to do all the shopping, because I'm not supposed to leave the house.  She was kind of wiped out when it was done, so she asked if I would make your cake.  So - I made the cake and then later made the biscuits and put dinner together.   You see, we had a full on, virtual type dinner.  All in your honor.  Susan thought of it and put it together.  It was all based on a dream she had with you in it.  She dreamt that we had been to visit and we left a box there.  The box was full of Red...
