29th. Anniversary

Hello Everyone:

Yesterday, June 14th. would have been Larry and my 29th. anniversary. The boys, Steve and Chris made sure that it was not forgotten. They were incredibly thoughtful with a card, a bottle of Merlot wine by "Bears Lair", a box of red licorice and a delightful day at Arlington Park to make unsuccessful bets on the ponies. I was anticipating this day for awhile now, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I had wonderful memories of the past 28 years with even one of those years celebrating at Arlington with Lar. There were other memories of dinners out, week-ends gone and even feeding carrot cake to Larry last year in the hospital. Those are memories that will not be forgotten.

I am trying to get things back into some kind of order. There have been phone calls to make, insurance companies to contact, and friends and family to contact. It is kind of odd having my days free of hospital visits, rehab visits and doctor appointments. A good part of the last 2 years has been spent doing exactly that.

I do miss Larry. I miss the ole'Lar with the noted chuckle, the Lar that always felt he had to do the bills-he did them the old-fashioned way, no computer,and secretly flourished doing them, the Lar that loved to go to the casinos, and the Lar that fell asleep in the chair. That's the Lar I want to remember; and now I have to go do the bills. Until later...pass on the Larry love.
