Dear Ted #7

Hello my love.  Just wanted to talk a minute.  I'm all alone tonight.  KayeLynn is with auntie.  I just realized yesterday was three weeks.  I keep thinking you died on a Friday, it was really close to a Friday, but it was actually on a Thursday.  But that whole night/day/night just felt like one full day, so I get stuck on Friday.  I'm still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that you are dead.  You were bigger than life.  How can you be gone??

Everyone is having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit.  I have the tree up - but it's been up since last year.  I put the lights on that you and I bought, because the others stopped working.  But, no decoration.  None at all. 

I went to the doctor yesterday.  She gave me a low dose anti-depressant to maybe help with the anxiety.  It makes me nauseated.  I don't know if that is what has taken away any energy I had, but I truly am having trouble keeping my eyes open today.  KayeLynn kept saying, Mom, you're sleeping during your show.  You're going to miss who got eliminated. 

Good news on your mom.  She is well enough to move to a rehab facility, so she is leaving the hospital today.  Hopefully she feels better soon.  Mary seems to think that she will be there for a while.

Well, one day it's going to hit me that you are really gone.  I just don't know if I want that to come.  I am truly living in a zone of you're just out of town.  I think I like that idea better than you being really gone. 

I love you.

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 #13

I watched you die.  I watched you helpless while you were taking your last breaths.  I watched as they tried to revive you.  I watched as they shocked your heart trying to get it to start again.  I watched as they did everything they could to save you.  But, they couldn't.  They couldn't save you.  I was helpless.  I couldn't do anything.  I just watched. You didn't say a word.  You didn't do anything to let me know what was happening.  I can't even imagine what was going through your mind.  What happened??  Why didn't you say anything?  Could you not speak?  Could you not let me know something was happening?  There was absolutely no clue to what was going on.  There was no idea what was happening.  All the sudden, there you were, on the ground.  I thought you fell.  I thought you tripped.  When I got to you, I realized something was wrong.  You were dying.  In front of...

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.
