We were only able to celebrate our first anniversary together. My beloved passed away 20 months into our sweet marriage.Somehow, the date of our wedding is more painful for than the date of his death...
I think of what could have been, but was never meant to be.
My mind wanders, and I daydream about the children that will never be born.
I imagine us, old and feeble, still in love and holding hands.
His scent has faded, but I have not forgotten what it felt like to be loved by him.
But, maybe, what I miss most is his laugh.
He had the best chuckle that came straight from his belly and resonated through my heart.
I'm still counting...
Five.

Brittany, I had no idea you were widowed (I missed that on your sidebar) until I opened today's post. My heart breaks for the pain you have endured and continue to feel. I have no words except to say you are in my thoughts and I hope the memories of happy times with your husband bring you some comfort today.
I am so so sorry. I hope that peace finds you today! Hugs.
Hi Brittany. I'm out of town & thought I'd check my e-mail & saw you'd been over to visit! It'd been a few days since I was on your blog & thought I'd come say hi. I remembered you mentioned a few posts back about the 4th being your anniversary. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine having to go through that. I love the picture of you two with this post. Thank goodness for pictures and memories in our hearts, huh? My thoughts are with you today! (hugs) Becky
Prayers for you.
What a lovely picture.
And a tribute.
Brittany: This is the first time I've read your blog. Basically, I'm a stranger but wanted to express my sincere sympathy in the loss of your beloved husband. From what I read you come across as a survivor & a strong woman. My prayers for continued strength and are with you. XXx Deb
Never stop counting either.....you have been made stronger through your trials.
Oh Brit...I'm so sorry.
I know your husband would be proud of your progress that you made running over that bridge and I know inside he was there cheering you on.
Hugs and more hugs.
okay, i am super emotional today apparently because i am sitting at my desk crying, my heart breaking for you.
i am so sorry for your heartbreak, for your loss.
I know you know this but Jesus came to heal the broken-hearted.
Have you heard the song from David Crowder, All That I Can Say?
You can hear it on Angie Smiths blog http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-agree-this-is-cryptic.html
Don't know why but that's what I think of right now with you.
Hugs and love to you.
