Today was the first wedding anniversary without Melody. It would have been our 41st anniversary.
So l planned ahead and made arrangements to be with friends for most of the day. Here l am with my long time friends Larry and Colleen. We went out to the cemetery. I took some fresh flowers to lay on the grave. Took some sparkling apple juice to make a toast to Melody and set up some lawn chairs and sat in the shade reflecting on wonderful memories. We then went out for supper. Being with friends made the day so much easier
What a difficult day that must have been for you, but what a sweet way to spend it. Thinking of you, Brian, and hoping that so many wonderful memories are comforting you tonight.
You were so wise to think ahead and make plans for the day, well done to you. Still so soon. Masses of love to you across the ocean from me in my corner of England today.
Well planned Brian…..you’re doing so well. These special dates are hard to get through especially the first. Thankful for good friends who are sad too but know how you feel. Congratulations to you & your heavenly Melody.
Great planning Brian. Sounds like a good way to have spent the day. Anniversaries of any kind tend to be difficult, so it was good that you could spend it with good friends.
I continue to pray for you and think of you often. I'm so impressed with how thoughtful you are and how you have allowed yourself time to grieve and yet haven't shut yourself off from life. What a special way to spend this day- honoring and remembering such a special lady and the love of your life. Special friends too!
