It is impossible to convey the feeling one gets at a time of intense emotional grief when those with whom he is related, or those who he calls friends, or even those he knows only casually reach out to express their support.
The love that comes to my sons and me at this time in the wake of my dear bride’s passing has been overpowering.
I awoke this morning dreading the day that awaited, as it marked the first full day I would be without my beloved Kathy Anne nearby. It got better once the sun rose and once my son and I completed some tasks that needed to be done.
Still, I find myself tearing up at the mention of things that made my bride smile. Or when I am asked the date of our marriage. Or when I learn of my granddaughter’s intention to give something for Grandma to take with her when we say goodbye in a few days.
I know those spells will pass. I cannot — and I dare not — predict when that will occur. I just know that they will and I will know when that moment has arrived.
This blog post is intended for those who have expressed their love and support. It is meant as one more thank you from me and from those who are sharing this grief.
I do not intend to bore you with further expressions of thanks and gratitude. Indeed, I am running out of ways to say it.
So, I’ll just feel it in my heart.
