Faith, Hope and Widowhood. Cancer, Death and starting over.For so long cancer was our "elephant in the room" We knew it was there,we just never wanted to acknowlege it. This blog started out as our journey in Bryons fight to beat cancer, now it is my journey of trying to live again without Bryon.
Waking up each morning with your partner and falling in love all over again.
Yesterday was an especially crappy day for me. Thought about if I had done the right things for Bryons care drifted through my mind. At one point I was determined to get a copy of his last x-ray from the hospital, don't know what it would prove but that's the way my mind works. I decided to go through one of his drawers, sort of the "junk" drawer. Odds and ends, some knives(Bryon loved his knives but they had to be sharp) old receipts etc. To me they are what made him who he was. Bryon loved to write, he started a childrens story which I passed on to Sherry to finish, his poetry was really pretty good. Going through papers I came across a poem he had written.
Bryon always said that when he died he hoped that it was after the clocks turned back, he wanted his hour back. He didn't get his wish by only a few days. Last night I went to the garage and turned on the lights, the way it was when Bryon would be working out there. I sat on the stoop and let my mind wander, I imagined that at any time he would stick his head out and say "miller time" That meant that he would grab and beer I would get a coke and we would sit and talk. It was break time. Bryon was always a stickler for the correct time so one year I bought him and Automic Clock. You can't set the time, instead it sets itself when the time centre in Colorado sends out it's electronic ping. It is supposed to be the most precise time there is. At exactly 2:00 a.m. the clock moved ahead an hour the big hand ticking off the 60 minutes. (google automic clock for more info) I realized how short our time here really is, in a blink of an eye I watched an hour go by. I find myself wondering about the concept of ghosts, but that is another blog.
