I would go right back to the day I married my husband! We lived in sin for 5 years, and married for 27. Almost 33 years together total.
He died on my arms the night of December 20, 2021.
He had been sick for nearly 5 years, but his death was not expected.
He had a just been released to come home after 44 consecutive days in the hospital.
He was home 4 days, and died in my arms night 4.
Because I'm in the medical field, and because I saw him take his last two breaths, I had to call 911. I would never have known if I made the right choice had I just let him go. So officially he didn't die until 7:14 p.m., December 2, 2021.
He was my best friend, and I miss him so very much. We had a helluva good time together and I miss the laughter.
Ours was a magnificent wedding. Not huge, but perfect.
We did the actual ceremony on day 1, and had the reception/celebration on day 2. We had a live band with whom I had been singing for years. We had friends and family. We had our future.
Those were 2 pretty special days.
I am a vocalist and music minister.
My 1st surprise for Tim was me singing The Lord's Prayer from the narthex of the church just prior to the ceremony beginning.
A wee bit of luck played into the timing as our videographer, Dennis, happened to be with Tim just before the music started.
Dennis asked, "I've know your wife a very long time, Tim. How are you feeling about marrying that wild and wonderful woman?"
My Tim's response:
Well, Dennis, we all know I'm marrying up. What on Earth do I have to lose?"
The room filled with laughter and then the organ music began.
I miss his laughter.
