Marriage & Conversations

There are many things that happens when you are married and have shared so much with your spouse. One of the things I miss the most is the conversation we would have, even if we were not actually speaking. Our conversations would involve words, jesters, body language, facial expressions and glances. We seem to always know what the other person was thinking and what they would have said. There are so many times that I want to share something with Eric, whether it's about something funny, ridiculous, your never guess, OMG ect..... I think oh I 'll just call Eric, look at my phone and then realize that he won't answer my call. If I am somewhere with a group of people I often look for him to steal a glance or an expression so he knows what I am thinking. When I am on my way home from something I am excited to share my experiences with him and then realize that when I open the door he won't be there to greet me and listen to my story. I was one of the lucky wives who had a husband that liked to talk and we would talk for hours. When he was at work we would talk each night before bed and many times during the day. If I was gone he would call me often and we would chat. Then with texting we would send little messages during the day. This is one of the things I miss the most, I have so much to share with him. I know I can talk to the sky but he can't talked back and then people will think I am a bit off. So for those of you who are lucky enough to have a spouse or significant other remember to share and share often, talk to each other, listen to each other and enjoy the conversation because one day it may all change.

Love,

All Star Game

One of the things that Eric always wanted to do was to go to the All Star Game. It was a childhood dream as I am sure it is for all young boys. For those of you who don't follow baseball this is the game that happens once a year between the American and National teams. It is packed full of fun beside the game there is the home run derby, fan fest, celebrity baseball and much more. Well the fun has already started in Anaheim as the Angles will be hosting the All Star Game this week. On Monday I will be taking Hunter and my niece to the Home run derby in honor of Eric. On Tuesday Hunter will be surprised by his Aunt with tickets to the actual game. (He is going to be so happy). Eric and I talked about it before he passed away and it was one of the request he had for me to do with Hunter. As you can imagine it is bitter sweet for me. I am happy to take Hunter and Morgan but there will be an sadness because Eric is not there physically with us. I hope that I will be able to live though Hunters total excitement and enjoy the moment for what it is worth. Knowing that Eric would have been so excited just as if he were an almost 11 year old boy. So this one is for Eric!
