A moment at the Graveside

Visiting the graveside
Old , Young
Some stay for a moment
Some sit in their lawn chairs and visit

I tend to visit quite often
I sit and talk out loud and share how I feel with my honey
Even read some scriptures out loud
All and all, I feel close to Dale when I do this even though I know he is not there but up in heaven

Today, July 29th
I went to visit and freshen up the water vase that was holding the fresh flowers we put in front of Dale’s grave side for his Birthday and 1st Angelaversary. ( July 27th)
As I was leaving , this young boy took 2 cans of Pepsi soda out of his car and walked towards a graveside, he kneeled in front of the tomb stone and opened the cans. He poured it on the ground in front of the tomb stone. You could tell he was crying…

I was in my car , when I saw this …. and I couldn’t help but feel his pain … I started crying seeing him hurt too.
I couldn’t help but know his pain…

I began to drive off and I slowed down and all I could see were all the tomb stones..
all those tomb stones…..
All those stones were a reflection of broken hearts
All hurting because they lost someone that past too.
And then I saw the tree
A reflection of life

How Iconic
Life and death
When there is life
There is death

I would like to give you a little back ground history of how I ended up here... I am 51 years old, a Nurse Practitioner, a mother of three awesome young men. I have had two failed attempts in marriage and finally found 'unconditional love' . I fell in love with my friend of 16 years... I never realized that 'my love' was right in front of me all this time . He had been divorced for 5 years and it wasn't until his divorce and mine that we realized we were each others soul mates. Dale, was one of a kind.. he was respectful towards me and so loving and most importantly a God fearing man. We became boyfriend and girlfriend and then we soon became engaged. He asked me to marry him in front of the Seattle city lights. It was so romantic.. the lights gleaming on the lake as we stood at Gas Works Park right in front of Lake Union . So fast forward.. July 27, 2017 was my honey's birthday- he turned 52! A very healthy person who ran most of his life. I asked him what he wanted to do on his birthday and he had asked if we could go see wedding venues. So we saw three different wedding venues . Later , that evening my heart broke... he had a sudden heart attack and died . I have been through a long unwanted journey and it seems everyday is a day I spend grieving with HOPE! I created this blog to share my story in hopes that maybe one day my grief and despair / journey will help at least one person ...
