Why this journal of… My Retired Groom?

We’ve been together a long time.  Our wedding day was almost 50 years ago and we have known each other probably 56 years.  I so worry that someday soon the Good Lord will see fit to take one of us to our forever home leaving one of us behind.    My memory is beginning to fail me some, so putting our daily escapades into words will keep our love alive and close in my mind and heart.

If I leave first I want him to be able to read about our road trips, our days of interactions and my love for him so he never forgets the love in my heart and soul that he will always have and the happiness that he has given to me on a daily basis.

So Pudge if you are reading this, I must be gone.  Know I left with tears in my eyes and an ache in my heart that will only be relieved when we are together again. I really can’t remember life without you.  You are my soul my heart and most of my mind. We have nine wonderful human beings on this earth created because of our love.  So if you are missing me just go look at them and see my love staring back at you.  You and I are a part of them and they are the greatest part of us on earth.  My eyes are tearing up and Donovan is asking why I’m crying so I must stop this excerpt now but will continue later.  I’m feeling our time together is slowly dwindling and will end sooner then either of us expect. My love for you is even greater then our glorious times in Erie.

Will continue later.
