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 Lobster things and gift cards.  So she felt that we needed to have a Seafood dinner.  But then it changed to a Seafood or a "C" food dinner.  KayeLynn and I had seafood salad, chopped broccoli salad, cheddar garlic biscuits and chocolate cake - German style.  A little different.  Others had cheeseburgers, Crystal had vegetarian fish sticks (she said they taste like seaweed feet), some had chicken, chops, salmon, sushi.  All sorts of different additions.  But the important thing is, we came together and had a dinner - birthday dinner - in your honor.  

I wanted to share the foot shots.  Because that there is the biggest honor:

KayeLynn and mine

Raja and Rustie - or Dodger and Dustie

Mike and Cory

Crystal, Zach and Chelsea - and pups

Dee, Cash, Gabe, Aaron and Brett

Susan and Paul

Mom and Mary

I sure hope you know I miss you more than I ever realized I could miss anyone.  I hide from emotions so very well, but there are just days that I'm overwhelmed from missing you.  Four days from now is the anniversary of the day you left me.  I sure hope you are so happy.  I can't stand the idea that you wouldn't be.

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 ...
