I sit here on this crisp fall morning, reading my daily devotion, as I always do, my morning coffee close at hand. Most mornings after my devotion, I will pray and thank God for my life, and every person, and thing, in it. Some mornings, I pick up the photo of my David, that sits on the table beside me, and I peruse every aspect of that photo! The head full of hair he still had, every mole, every wrinkle, every gray hair in his beard and mustache ( a lot of which I caused), the crows feet at the corner of each eye, and that smile! The smile, that could light up a room, the smile that always made me smile, the smile that grew even bigger, when our children or grandchildren were around, the smile I fell in love with. I miss that smile! Sometimes when I pick up his photo, I will tear up. But, not today! Today, for the first time in awhile, the floodgates opened, and I had a full fledged, ugly cry! LOL I sit here looking at the leaves on the pecan trees, blowing in the wind. Pecan trees that as a young boy, he helped his Daddy plant. I look out at the grapevines, their leaves falling off. Grapevines he fussed over. He would take a chair and his shears, and go to prune his grapevines. When he needed a rest, he would sit in that chair and survey the progress he had made. A many a time I watched him from my kitchen window, and would take him a drink, when he needed it. I can see him sitting in that chair! I miss that! I miss him!! When something had upset me, I would walk to the door of his office, he would take one look at me and know I was upset. I would walk to him, and he would pull me onto his lap, wrap his arms around me, and comfort me. The he would ask about what had upset me, and I would tell him. Most times he would say, If that is the worst thing that happens to you today, you will be alright. I miss that! I guess all the fast paced activity in my life these past weeks,( that I am truly excited about), finally caught up with me this morning. LOL I am truly thankful for friends, and of course, my never faltering, oh, so faithful and loving children. It has been a joint effort, that I am so grateful for! I am really missing my man today, but I am also very excited about the next chapter, in my life. Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers! Keep them coming! Love and hugs! B
