No More Roses

Today is Valentine's Day.

One of the hardest days for widows or widowers.

This is a day that you usually share a little extra love.

For me I haven't had my husband's tangible love for over 3 years now.

That seems like forever. I can't believe I have made it this long. Truly.

I really thought my heart wouldn't make it.

God had other plans I guess. I am still here.

I go on social media and all I see is love, flowers, couple selfies and date nights.

That is hard to see.

I am happy for them but then reminded my love is gone. He is a little bit far from me, hanging out in heaven.

If I could only get that hug again.

If I could only hear "Good morning beautiful!"

If I could only hold your hand again.

I've been sick a few days now and boy that is hard without your man.

Let me tell you, and listen real good now.

If you have your person, you are blessed.

If you have your person helping you, you are blessed.

If you have your person who takes care of you, you are blessed.

If you can call or text your person, you are blessed.

Even though I am not getting roses anymore I am blessed because I got them for over 34 years. I was able to love and be loved and that is what I hold onto.

Don't waste your love. Take advantage of it every single day. It is so precious. Trust me.

Give roses, hold hands, be kind, and simply love.

Do it for Tony and I.

Loving Them In Heaven,

Patty
