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 - #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 ...
