I knew today would be difficult for me, as it is my wedding Anniversary. So to get through it ~ a few weeks ago I booked a massage and a facial, and planned on easing through the day.
Then I get up this morning, check my e-mail messages and click over to Facebook as I have notifications there, and this pops up in my Facebook memories:
A post from Jeff to me from 4 years ago ~ the year before he got sick saying ~
"Happy 9th year of marriage in this lifetime! My love and admiration for you is stronger each day. I love you."
And I am hit with sadness and longing to hear him say those words to me ~ to wrap me up into his arms in a big warm embrace, allowing me to feel as if everything is right in the world ~ for just those fleeting minutes.
But I won't, ever again ~ see his smile or hear his laugh.
Although this past weekend I could just hear him talking to me, after Zack and I visited his grandparents in St. Augustine.
There was definitely a void without him, during that visit, but his spirit was present.
Maybe Jeff did send me that Facebook Memory to my phone today to let me know that while I will be thinking of him on our Anniversary, he's thinking about me too.
WELCOME! I'm Tracey Serebin and I'm SO glad you are here! Having been through the many stages of grief, healing and hope, my prayer is that I can help you use your unique story to access your wisdom, maximize your talents and become the change maker your family and our society needs! Let's be better together!
