My 54th birthday is next Monday, Memorial Day. It will also be 9 months since I lost Bubba.
We are leaving for St George Island in Florida on Sunday. We had been taking this family trip for 5 years until last year when Bubba had his surgery on May 20th so we were unable to go.
I'm thankful we are not staying in the same house as usual but will be in the same small community of 5 houses. Due to Bubba's back issues I would always bring his morning coffee to the bedroom for him. And his lunches and so forth....lol. He saved his energy so he would be able to walk out on the long dock and fish in the Bay with our son, son-in-law and grandchildren.
So far I'm not really looking forward to the trip. Hope when I get in the truck with others on the way down I'll start to 'feel' it. Or maybe when I get there and see all the beauty the island has to offer.
9 months......some days it seems like forever since I touched him and sometimes it seems like yesterday. It has become easier and I don't cry hysterically anymore. Just cry quietly to myself.
One of the hardest things is dealing with this pain without him. He was always so helpful and supportive when my pain was bad. He called me everyday from work to see how I was doing that day. Knowing everyday was different for me. Bless his heart.....when he finally came home from the hospital and was using a walker but still really struggling to walk.....he would get my cold pack out of the freezer and bring it to me when I was in bed and in pain....even with me telling him not to.
My son calls....several times a day to check on me but it's not the same. I do appreciate Luke's calls. He and my daughter have been right by my side every step of the way.
Thanks so much for your message and everyone else that keeps up with me.
