One year later
It has been one year since I last heard Linda’s beautiful voice. The last thing she said to me was her head hurt and then she collapsed in my arms. It was suppose to be a great day. In the morning, like so many others, we talked about how the day would unfold. Wake boarding until early afternoon then a BBQ for lunch followed by cruising the intercoastal waterway and finishing the day with a nice home made dinner and ……… Well the day did not unfold the way we had it planed. Now a year later I try to figure it all out. Life is short, some times to short. I find myself often asking why. I listen to the phone message machine just to hear her voice. We had this rule with each other, I would open the car door for her, and she would give me a kiss when we reached our destination. Why was our last kiss so short? Believe me when I write this, kiss the one you love like you may never see them again, it might be. The dedication tree will be planted Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 0900 at Quite Waters Park by the ski rixen. I still receive letters and cards of thoughts of Linda. Thank you all for that. In a time a very long time when things feel empty and alone the letters, e-mails and cards help. They make me believe that all that I have written and tried to do means something to some one other than me. I have come to realize that’s what it all should be about anyway. It’s easy to do things for ourselves and difficult to do things for others, I choose difficult. Hope to see you at the park. Les
