On this day in 2014 at 5:23 pm, I watched Troy take his last breath. God knows I miss him every single day. I’m such a better person for him having been in my life. I wrote a few random thoughts of my life with him for the 42 years we were together. From the day I met him until the day I said goodbye. Forever in my heart.
Beads of rain trickled down
in crooked, broken lines
a gentle reminder
of how fragile your life
I held your hand
the day you left
and looked into yours eyes
as death slowly crept
I whispered I love you
How we would be all right
How sad I knew I’d be
without you by my side
When I first met you
It was love at first sight
I felt it in my heart
and this I know is true
You were the best Dad
and husband no doubt
But how lonely I’ve been
since we’ve been apart
You made my life richer
just by being here
now it is so empty
and there sits your chair
I feel you everywhere
in the wind and crisp morning air
and when It’s cloudy no sunlight
I want to hug you oh so tight
I know I’ll always miss you
But I will be all right
Cause I’m slowly moving forward
and on with my life
