Over the last few weeks I've been compiling a list of thoughts for my one true love, Debbie.We dated for eighteen months in high school, then reunited in January of 2009. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be as her breast cancer returned this month five years ago. Despite being together for only twenty-five months, it was the most wonderful relationship I've ever been involved with. I hope you enjoy the shorts I've come up with and that they may apply to your own life.
When
I looked into her deep brown eyes, all the angst and pain from the past began
melting away.
What would you
do knowing your true love's time was running out? One word: LIVE!
We lived each day as if it was her last; the end
is coming and I can't stop it.
I'll never
forget the time mom and dad came home early one night. All he told me was,
"Don't let it happen again." Didn't have to tell me twice! Don't
think mom ever knew. Whew.
Why did it take
thirty years to reunite? She said it best, "Unfinished business."
Being by her side
filled me with joy no matter what we were doing. That is what true love is all
about
No matter how
many relationships I was involved in, Debbie's memories were always under the
surface.
I never tired telling
her how much I loved her and her girls.
When I looked into
her deep brown eyes, all the angst and pain from the past began melting away.
How would I feel
seeing her after thirty years? Her smile assured me, I'd come home.
How would I feel
seeing her after thirty years? Her smile assured me, I'd come home.
In fifteen days, I would kiss her goodbye for
the last time.
RIP July 20, 2009.
