Wheelerswife Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 3/24/11. Four years ago, I had the privilege of marrying this beautiful man. I never expected that I would lose him so quickly, less than 3 years later. This was one of the best days of my life...in a string of the best 1465 days I could ever have imagined. The woman who performed our ceremony gave us each a red rose...the first gift to us as husband and wife. We then exchanged those roses as our first gift to each other. I still have them.

Carey Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 So beautiful. People keep telling me that cheesy saying, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". But that's what came to my mind at your photo ... you KNEW how fragile life was and you lived every minute with him fully in it, if that makes sense. Probably made those 1465 days all that more precious. Hugs to you today....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATJ Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (((Maureen))) I'm thinking of you today! Once I wrote the poem below, and perhaps it will resonate with you. 'The Rhythm of Life' Life is a succession Of 'Hellos' and 'Goodbye' Everything can change In the blink of an eye It's a great amalgam Of joy and pain - We must see what's important So that it's not in vain Life's nothing but small moments in time Some filled with sorrow, others sublime It offers us lessons in how to discern What's of true value, for us to learn And as we watch the ebb and flow Of great loss and great gain We begin to understand Its ephemeral frame And so we try to accept The fleeting nature of time And attempt to make sense Of its painful rhyme As we begin to comprehend The fragile nature of Life We come to understand That it must be Wisely spent Treasure each moment With those you hold dear It's the only way To assuage our fear Cherish each instant And take the time To make even the small And the mundane feel sublime And when we ask cosmic forces above "What shall I Do to find meaning?" The answer always is - LOVE! Only Love softens the rhythm Of life's rough ocean tides It comforts and delights And it ALWAYS ABIDES! And so, when we're asked For yet another release Our Love flies at their side As they Soar in Peace! ~~ À Tout Jamais Maureen, you have had truly beautiful 'moments in time' with your Love, and you Did spend them wisely! Hold on to those treasured memories as you look back today. I wish you Peace! ATJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
