Mrs. B Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hi all, Well today is Ricks Birthday and it will be two years that he has been gone. He would have been 54. I had all my family and friends write a favorite memory of Rick in a journal just months after he passed away. I tucked it away and i was going to read it when i felt like i could do it. Tonight is the night I think. I'm going to sit down later with a bottle of wine and read each one. Hopefully there will not be to many sad tears but tears of happiness because they were good times and memories. Mrs.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfh Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Mrs. B I am sure I speak for everyone as I say that our hearts will be with you as you venture into those messages and memories. I did that on the first anniversary and may do it every year to come. I wish you lots of tears of happy memories. mfh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkins808 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Mrs. B. ~ What a wonderful idea! I know for me, whenever I hear people's stories about my husband it's like I'm given a new memory of him. I hope tonight all your tears ARE happy tears! Hugs, Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. B Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thank you all for your kind words. I ending up have just a glass of wine not the whole bottle. Lol The stories were so moving and tears flowed. Not sad ones though. My niece wrote of when she needed a dad to skate with her for the father daughter number and he volunteered. The first night practice he fell hard and she remembered how it must of hurt. She was so happy that he did it with her so she got to enjoy the skate with her friends and not have to sit it out. My sister say he was her knight in shining Armour cause he was always rescuing her whether it was when she locked her keys in the car or car trouble or house troubles with water floods. My girlfriends husband and him were great buddies . Camping memories. Halloween pranks. All and all from the stories of their best memories they to all will miss him .

kayc Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm glad you got to hear others' good memories of him, I don't think there's anything that warms a widow's heart more. And a glass of wine too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
