October 16 – a date to remember

… well, it’s a date that’s seared in my memory.  It’s the date I lost Chuck – 15 years ago.  Hard to believe it’s been 15 years, seems like yesterday.

 

 

 

We were just a little short of 44 years.  He was older than me and was pretty sure he would go before me.  He always tried to have “things” where I could take care of them.  He failed – I still need him.

 

 

He did go out with a ‘bang’ – well, a bang-up funeral, and all his own planning.  If haven’t read about it and are interested it’s here.

At the same time, explodes with anticipation thinking where Chuck is now, what he’s seeing, and what his face will look like the next time you see each other. The Reunion… Read more »
