Twenty Years without you, but you're still within me.

On May 16 it will be 20 years ago that a part of me died, you were called to Heaven from us when the Boys were 5 and 9 years old.

Now they are grown men and great ones at that! I always say they are as good as they are because they had a great start in life and that was you!

One is an IT Support Specialist. He's a geek, "that's what he says." The other one will be a Dentist in a couple more years.

When I see people in the paper celebrating 30 years or more of marriage, I often think how

much I would have loved to grow old with you, and wonder how our lives would have turned out.

It would have been fun to tease you about gray hairs, and then you would have teased me about being bald. But I guess we have to wait till we are together again to catch up.

I am the lucky one, I had you in my life for more than 18 years, and I would not trade one minute of the time we had together.

I did remarry years later, and Kelly is so understanding of my past. She got me, the boys and you in the deal, and has always supported all of us. She is a very special woman to come into such a different circumstance.

In my life I truly have been blessed.

You will continue to live in my heart as long as I am here.
