LETTER TO MY MARY,
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, I WAS BLESSED
I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH
I was blessed the day we met, you were 20 & I was 21, so long ago yet so quickly passed. I was blessed when I asked you to marry me, and you touched my heart and said yes.
I was blessed threefold with the birth or our tree amazing children. Our grand children and our great grandchildren, I see your grace and kindness in our daughter and two sons as they move thru life.
I was blessed thousands of times when I held you in my arms and said I love you Mary, and you said I love you, Joey. I felt like nothing could ever go wrong when we were sitting and holding hands and you would lay your head on my shoulder, and my heart would swell with love.
I was blessed because you helped me become a better person, so much better than I would have been without you. It is almost unbearable to accept that I can’t kiss your lips, I can’t feel your breath on my face, I can’t laugh with you, I can’t be sad with you, there is just this empty space within me, as I cling to your memory.
My Mary, not a minute, not a hour & not a day goes by that I don’t think of our life together, and how desperately I miss you, I think of our wedding vows in sickness and health, and till death do us part, and how meaningful those words are now, I was blessed and thankful and so proud to have you as my wife, my best friend and the mother of our children.
I was blessed for the 61 years we had each other and as man and wife how our love for our family and for each other grew stronger and stronger with the passing of time, My Mary, we both knew there would come a day when one of us would have to carry on the rest of our life alone, but I am not alone because you are always with me in my thoughts and in my heart, I pray for the day when we are together again.
FOREVER, YOUR JOE, I WAS BLESSED.
