Dear Ted #4

This is weird.  I get upset when I don't write every day.  But, I get upset thinking I'm writing too much.  Ah - the conundrums of life.  Do you have conundrums still?  Gosh, I wish you could tell me.

Steve is flying in today.  He's coming to collect all the equipment for Voice Carrier that you have.  He called me, pretty much in tears, shortly after you died because he found that you had given him a full inventory of the things you have and where they were to be found.  He found it hidden somewhere in their network in a document.  Hopefully, they really are where you said - I can't imagine they won't be.  We shall see. 

There are so many things to be done.  And I really don't want to face them.  I really need to do thank you notes for all the things people sent and the things they did after you died.  I'm a little overwhelmed.  People have been amazing.  I go to work and am inundated by love and hugs.  I get texts from people checking on me.  Let alone all the love I get from our families. 

I got the sad news that your mama was taken by ambulance to the hospital yesterday.  Apparently she has pneumonia and her blood oxygen level was low.  The poor thing.  On top of everything else.  Mary said that after getting some breathing treatments and starting antibiotics, she seemed to improve.  But, she'll be in the hospital for a few days.  Makes me realize how fragile life still is.  But, I never thought I would bury you before she was buried.  I just need her to hang on for a while.  Right now would not be a good time for her to go.  But, I know I really don't have a say in it.  If I did, you would be downstairs right now working and I wouldn't be waiting for Steve to land.

Well, I love you so much.  I miss you so much.  I hope you know that.  I planned to spend the rest of life with you.  I didn't know I would lose you so soon.  There were way to many things to do together.   Well, rest in peace my love - cuz when I get there - there will be some major dancin' goin' on!!  Slow dancin'!!!!

Dear Ted - #71

Holy hell. It's almost been a year since I wrote to you. Ten months, actually!! WOW Just thought I would catch you up on a few things. February I took Harper to Disneyland. We had a great time. I love that kid. That was the last time I traveled. Crazy, I know. April, I had gastric bypass surgery. I decided the rest of my life should be as healthy as possible. However, I've been pretty weak since having it. I actually did ok until I had Covid in June. That nearly killed me. Not really, but I got so weak I couldn't walk for twenty feet without thinking I needed to sit down and relax. I'm still dealing with that. Rustie had her gallbladder out on Friday. On Monday, I will be picking up the three girls. They will be staying with me until Saturday. Then I'll be taking them to Russ and Nancy's - I think. On Saturday, KayeLynn and I are heading to Grand Junction. Randi and Iri moved to Delta, Colorado back in May. So, we are going to go see them...

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 - #70 - Two years

Well, it's been two years. I can't even believe it. I worked all day and kept my mind off things. Since being home, it's not as easy. I love you more than you'll ever know.
