SHIRLEY JEAN BRADLEY
30 November 1935 ~01 April 2000  Your death has left a gaping whole in my life and heart, producing an emptiness I know will never be filled. I miss your voice, the sound of your laughter. Those funny endearing things you did, those moments when I was infuriated at you. I miss the dreams I had for and with you. I miss the future we will never have and the past, no matter how long it may have been, will never be long enough. I have wept for you as well as for myself. I have raged in anger at you, at God, at fate, at the world, at anyone and anything that seemed to be an appropriate target. I have tried to understand why you are no longer with me, why I have to struggle through this world without you. Some people have reached out to help me, others have turned away, unable to bear the pain I carry. I do not ask them to share it with me and only to listen as I talk and cry. I have waited in the darkness for some sign that you are in a better place and even when I may receive it, I could not help but question how it could be better if I am not there with you. And I have wanted to join you so often when aloneness threatened to overwhelm me. Through all this turmoil and doubt, I have managed to come this far. I have not yet achieved my goal, but a least I can now recognize that I am on the road to recovery. I am not sure how I will go on without you: no matter how many other important people may be in my life. You hold a special place, and it is hard to imagine you are not with me. I let you go, my dearest. I know you will never leave my side, as I will never leave yours. Thank you for the wonderful, unique relationship we shared. When we meet once more. I look forward to
sharing these new experiences with you. I love you. I will never forget you... To announce to multiple people, separate email address with a comma "," |
