ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY MOVIE

I also know that he would want nothing more than for me to be happy because that's how he lived his life every day. I know God has his reasons as to why our time was so short together. These have been almost my exact words when talking about the loss of my husband. As I read this poem over and over, it made me cry but also made me smile. I know the grieving process is different for everyone, but I did not think this part would come back so strongly. I've told my story hundreds of times of the night that we lost him, but the images keep flooding my mind of that night.

As the 23rd creeps closer, I feel myself not being able to be as strong as everyone has seen me be. We experienced all of the for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health before we even got married as he lived with end stage renal failure prior to us getting married. We were together for 13 years, married 3. I lost my husband almost a year ago to the date, June 23, 2019. My 2 grandsons helped him stand and walk him through our mobile home to the bedroom. He stayed in his wheelchair a hour or less then wanted to go to bed.

We watched a movie and he talked with our daughter. Had dinner, he ate so good - we were shocked. He was not my husband - very weak, frail, his emotional state was very bad. He was different! He was dying before my eyes. Well with Covid 19 lurking about, I decided to bring my husband home sooner. My husband was to be coming home the day after Thanksgiving. Now it's November and Thanksgiving was closing in. His health was worse as the days came and went. This in turn made him unable to walk without help.
