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 #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...
