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 - #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...

Dear Ted #24

So I've decided to give a new name to a certain day of the week.  I will now be calling it Productive Tuesdays.  I'm giving myself a goal to accomplish on that day and doing everything I can to meet that goal.  This Tuesday, I worked on our bathroom and our bedroom.  I finished up most of the painting, there is the other side of the beam that I still need to do, but it doesn't show - so I'm not too worried.  😂😂  Went through your nightstand drawers.  A lot of the stuff in there made me smile.   I also started painting our closet.   I'm doing the same colors as the bathroom.  I made a nice little shrine to you on your nightstand.  Got a picture of you in front of the flags from when we were at the Missouri.  I have your NSA mug with a bunch of little tools in it.  Your Jeeps.  Your Marine beanie and your Get Smart beanie.  One of your floppy hats. Your one Marine hat is hanging above the night stan...

Dear Ted #63 - Happy New Year

Well, yesterday was New Years Day. I just want you to know I had a great day!!! And it was all in honor of you!!! Because we couldn't have your birthday party in November - you know, I was quarantined - we had it yesterday. We went and had an effing burger in your honor. I have to say that I was not impressed with Habit Burger. I don't think I'll go there again. Then we rented out one of the Cinemark Theatres in Farmington. We watched the new Croods movie. It was pretty danged cute. But the best part, the kids could just do what they want. Especially my little Stinka. She ran around, stopped by everyone and took their treats. And whenever the sloth said DUN DUN DUN, so would she. We had a dance party at the end while the credits rolled. I have to say, it was the best day I've had since you left me. Maybe it was not our traditional movie marathon, but it made me very happy. I love you so much and your tradition lives on. This year, it was a little ...
