Two hearts on sticks. It says "I want to try Today". This is a crafting project I made several years ago, and today it really seems appropriate. Because sometimes I feel like a woman with two hearts. Today would have been Jim's 70th birthday. He died a few days after turning 62, so now he has been gone for 8 years. It is still hard to believe. Some days it seems like I just became a widow. I vividly remember how frightening and unfamiliar everything was. My life changed in so many ways, and I felt that everything had been taken away. And other days, now it seems like forever ago. I have learned to be alone. And I have learned to love again. I never, ever thought I would. I even had the word "Forever" tattooed on my wrist. And he was my forever. We married just after turning nineteen, and had almost 43 years together. I see him in our children and grandchildren. I will always grieve that they did not have more time with him, and that he wasn't here to be with them as they grew. I miss him very much and the life I thought we would continue together.
And yet, at the same time, I am so in love with John. (Old People Romance) I am looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. The feelings are sometimes complicated, and confusing. We both understand that we can love two people. I miss Jim, but want to be with John. I am excited to change my life again and to share it with the man who is perfect for me now. Our wedding is in 111 days. The time is going quickly! Except for June. June is a month that I am always anxious to be done with. Father's Day, Jim's birthday, John's wife's death, and finally, Jim's death on the last day of this not so lovely month.
That has been my day today. Missing my Forever, but happy to begin again with my Always. My two hearts. But, no more tattoos. He'll just have to take my word for it.

ReplyDeleteSandi, I am now where you have been 8 yrs ago. Everything so frightening & unfamiliar. My life is changing in so many ways. And I also feel like everything I thought my life would be has been taken away from me. I had to move into a tiny apartment & be responsible for myself, which I had never had to do. When my nightmare began 7 months ago, I didn't even know how to put gas in my car or pay bills or manage a checking account of my own. But, like you, I am a strong woman. Even though our world has turned upside down, we perservered. We put on our big girl pants & did what we had to do. I am so happy for you as you begin a well deserved bright future with a new love. I only hope I will someday be as blessed. Linda Kay Brauer
