Dear Ted #28

My goodness, it has been a rough couple of days.  I didn't know I had that many tears inside of me.  I was  not crying for so long, that now I am having a hard time stopping.

Coming home yesterday, I got a little emotional.  I always do once those grandkid trips are over.  But, I started thinking about the very last time I saw your face.  You looked so at peace.  Just like you were sleeping.  And I had  to walk away from you forever.  Never to see that face again.  I started crying and I couldn't stop.  I had to run out of Rodger and Rustie's house, leaving Harper there, because I couldn't stop crying.

Then today, I finally resolved to turn off your phone.  There really isn't a reason to have it on anymore.  There hasn't been a reason for months.  But, I finally decided I needed to take that step.  I wasn't ready for the emotions that it would set off.  Especially when it was done and I wasn't sure if I could hear your voicemail anymore.  I had a total freak out.  So, when I found it was still there, I used your phone to record it and sent it to me in your Messenger.  For some reason, this picture helped calm me down.



I miss you so much.  I can't even handle how much I really miss 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 #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.
