I miss his poems....

2:00PM -- I know it's been almost a month since I last posted here. I've been dealing with stuff concerning Larry and it's been extremely hard for me, especially in the last 2-3 weeks. Today is my birthday and I always got a poem from him. I can't explain how deep the pain is at not getting one this year...today. I also missed the one I always got for Valentine's Day. As I said, it's been really difficult for me. I'm going to the cemetery shortly. I've put a beautiful solar angel on his grave and am taking roses there today.

I rented a car several weeks ago....stopped in Swansea for a couple of nights and spent them at my girlfriend's home. Visited with Alyce and Lyn one afternoon. Lyn brought me the necklace with Larry's thumbprint on the medallion. I paid her and thanked her for it. I then left there the next morning and drove as far as Tuscaloosa, AL and spent 3 days there more or less. Then, cut my trip short and returned home. Drove a straight 10 hours. Gave me lots of time to think.

I plan to make another trip to SC once the weather breaks. My girlfriend is urging me to go on a cruise with her at an unbelieveably low price. I'm thinking about it, but not sure yet. I've never done a cruise before, although Larry and I had talked about it. I was either working or there wasn't enough money....then, he was too sick to travel. Gawd, I miss him.

Went to the Moose with mom and sisters this past Saturday. Was totally surprised when they brought out a cake and the numbers "56" on it. I turned them around to say "65". It was a nice surprise...and my sisters made sure everybody in the hall knew it was my birthday. Even had the band announce it.

Will try to get back soon. I just mailed in the proof approval for our headstone last week. It should be in place over the next couple of months.
