Trees by the River
It's been 21 months tonite that he was living his last moments........
I had made one of his favorite dinners
He sat and watched Jeopardy, his favorite show.
He was happy because it was High Schoolers competing,
and he knew most of the answers......
He and our son put together a shelf I had bought that day
so our son could display his trophies. They played "sword fight"
with the tubular arms of the unit. I can still hear it clacking and them ...
laughing
At about a quarter to eight, he came out of the bedroom,
his basketball clothes on...."Wanna come watch me play?"
No, I think I'll clean the kitchen, you'll only be gone an hour......
"OK, see you in an hour, then, preshie"......
He lied...the last words I ever heard.
Preshie, short for Precious, sometimes just Presh
That was what he called me.......

he didn't lie...you can see him anytime you want...just not like the way you used to. Big hug to you!
Wow my eyes just filled up.
The trees stretching upwards toward the sky seem so appropriate.
oh, make me cry...thats just so sweet, the simple memories are often the best, he sounds like he was a wonderful man:)
What wonderful last words to hear.
He'll always be near you until it's your time to cross. Love that strong is going to survive, you know?
Shell I dont need to be crying this early in the morning. I need to get to work!!
I hope one day I can be loved like that. I'm so sorry this happened to you Shell. That has got to be the hardest thing.
I'm glad that you had found your soul mate, and had a deep love.
