Grieving is like swimming in the ocean. The waves come up and can take you under for while. Just have to be patient until you land on shore. It sure is helping me to hear your precious thoughts and memories here.
I thought I would share some more with you.
Vernon and I were stationed in Ft. Ord, California in 1976. He got there a bit earlier than I did. We were transfered to an outpost in San Diego. Jim, Aletha, Robbie, Edna and Chester all come out to Cabrillo National Monument and Lighthouse to help us get married. It was a gorgeous day. We could see a panoramic view of the ocean. The whales were migrating south. I borrowed a white dress from Melanie in our unit. My mom/dad, Kathy and Dan were there. Our Army Unit was there. He was sooooo good looking : ) in his blue tux. with his blue eyes. The time for "kiss the bride" came and he held back. I gave him a great big kiss and he was so embarrassed. : ) It was rather out of character for me. He was normally the less reserved person. The day was glorious, full of dreams, and hope for the future.
