my loving husband
Hi Babe! I miss you so very much, everyone says that i'm a strong woman and yes thats true, but since the lord took you away from me I am so weak and lost I feel as though my heart has been ripped out. I am now 11 days closer to being with you my love. I sit think about our life together we have a wonderful marriage, an awesome friendship but most important we have the love for each other that no one knows but you and I, I thank you for being my husband (since I proposed to you),ithank you for loving me and yes you are a romantic (lol). You filled my life with laughter and happiness. I just wish that we could of had many more years together here at our home. Iwill always love you and be proud to say that I am Mrs. Frank D. Parent. My tears are constantly flowing and I hope that you don't have to pick them all up, as a child my mom-mom said that those who pass before us must pik up all the tears before entering heaven. I dont know if thats true but the only release that I have is crying. I am coming to visit your resting place today. See ya soon I Love you my precious Frank.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hi Babe, so I never thought that I would be wishing you a happy birthday this way or even celebrating this very special day this way. I have been talking to you since a little after midnight this is so hard for me. you know how I feel about birthdays how much meaning I put to that day. for is not for this day ,time and year I would not have you but I do have and always will have you with me, my heart, mind and soul. I sent balloons to heaven for you I hope that you got them and read each one carefully. I also went to dunkin doughnuts and celebrated your day. Frank, I love you and miss you so much that my heart aches for you. I miss everything about you and our marriage, I dont know how to keep my head up and go forward so I need your help,guidance and love to go on. people keep telling me that it will get easier, honestly its gets harder every day with out you here with me physically but if this is how it is then i have no choice in the matter I sit and think of our life from the beginning to the end. We have a great marriage,friendship and the love we feel towards each other is just incredible.I thank you for that, because i lnow for a fact that many people have never yet experienced love the way that you and I have. God found us put us together and totally blessed us. Once again, my love happy birthday and I Love You with ALL MY HEART, MIND, BODY and SOUL now and through eternity.
Love you,
Mrs. Frank Parent
