I took the flower pot in this morning, the one that I acquired the day after your death. The non-stop begonias that blossomed in it since that day have finally given up in face of the oncoming cold. Next year, that pot will hold ornamental grasses, your favourite.
I miss you, my friend. Every. Single. Day. In the morning as I sip my coffee, when I work on the latest jigsaw puzzle, when I come across a good Netflix show or yummy recipe, when I read something quirky or outrageous in the news. So many times during the day I make a mental note to tell you about something… I talk to you nonstop, but there’s no reply.. I guess that bodes well for my so-called sanity, but there are times I’d gladly give up a few moments of reality just to hear your voice.
I keep thinking about the puzzle I was working on when you left…the one with the motorcycle club. You would have loved everything about it, not the least of which is the reminder of our days with The Daltons. Flirting with danger was one of the things we did well together. That puzzle serves as an excruciating reminder that those days are gone forever.
Yet, you remain fully and completely in my heart. Your breathing is normal, your body is strong, and you are feisty as hell. Thankfully, you never lost that last quality.
I love you.
From the heart I know. That wanting to call. To laugh together. The absence is so immense at times. Just remembering. Thanks for sharing this. Hugs to you. 😔
Sorry for ur loss Suzan , hugs 💕
This is beautiful, Susan.
This touched my heart. Beth’s spirit was so strong. I find myself still confused as to how it’s possible that she is really gone. Your bond with Beth stood the test of time, and I know you miss your friend terribly. Hugs Susan.
Susan, your bond with Beth was one that not all get to experience in a lifetime. The love, the laughter, the tears, the mayhem. Cherish it all, talk to her always, and know that she is breathing easy. I love you!
OMG Susan, after our phone call today I remembered that Beth had told me about your site leightbloomer. Unbelievable that it opened to Ode to a friend. Two signs in one day.
Beth must be looking down on us 🤗💞🤗
