43 years ago today
I married the most beautiful, sexiest, most intelligent and nicest woman a person could ever meet.
She would do anything, and done more then I wished she would have... She would do a lot of things that the man of the house should do. It would always tee me off that she would do those things, not that I found it was an insult to my manhood, just that I wanted to take care of her, not her take care of me... but she would always tell me that she did it because she knew that I work long hard hours to make a home for our family and that she wanted to give back some of that back in return to me.
When we first got married I gave her the opportunity to either go to work or to be a stay-at-home mom and wife. She chose the most noblest of professions of being a stay-at-home mother and wife. She wanted to be there for our kids and myself 24/7 in case we needed her, which was most of the time.
She done a fantastic job raising three beautiful, well-behaved and productive children pretty much by herself, like I said I work long and hard hours that was at least a 14-16 hour per day, 6 and 7 days a week. but when I was home it was family time. So the kids didn't go without a father...
Sadly her life was cut short in an auto accident August 4th, 1998. The doctor say that she was killed instantly and didn't suffer, and that I thank God for that everyday...
The good Lord gave me 23 years including the time that we dated before we got married before he called her back to be with him. And everyday I thank him for those 23 wonderful years. Although I do understand that God has his reasons, I wish he could have gave me more time on this Earth witb her... I just hope I have lived my life good enough that God sees fit for me to join him and her in heaven when my time comes to cross over.
I will always love her and miss her with all my heart. I've tried to find somebody else to be happy with on this Earth. And even though it has been 21 years since she's passed on, I cannot find anybody that can hold a candle to her. And I know it's ludicrous to think that anybody could be as perfect as her, I just can't get by the fact that I had the best woman that ever lived, and for some reason I just can't settle for Less. I guess I will die a single person, but the 23 years that we spent together is enough for me. No I'm not trying to say that I'm lonely, because I I have the memories of her to Stave off the loneliness.
I love you Monica and miss you with all my heart...
I'm sorry for burdening you with all this, but I just had to get this off my chest

Hell of a post, Rem.
I had some inconsiderate funny stuff ready to post in my warped head before I read everything.
My heart goes out you, and I'm glad you have these wonderful memories.
I've been married for 34 years and could not begin to understand what you have been through.
Best wishes,
Ed
P.S. No burden from here, Pal.0 -
I have no words with which to console you. The fact that you can put that in words after all these years says a lot.
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.0 -

My most sincere condolences Rem I can't imagine the pain that brings you. 0 -
Thank you guys. I don't usually open up like that... including with people that I see on a day-to-day basis, let alone on the internet. I usually keep my private self extremely private
Again I'm sorry for burdening you with my woes, but I just had to get that off my chest0 -
That was a beautiful and heart felt tribute to Monica! 0 -

Thank you buddy, but it really wasn't meant to be a tribute. More like a woe is me for losing such a fantastic woman post. But after reading what I wrote, it does kind of come off like a tribute. Had it been a tribute to her what I wrote would have just scratched the surface. She was the type of woman that no matter who you talked to they can find no wrong in her. She was just that type of woman0 -
A very moving tribute to a wonderful wife , mother and friend . obvious she was special beyond compare
a true once in a lifetime relationship ended way to early my thoughts go out to you0 -
Wonderful post that made me more aware of my own wife of 54 years. It was refreshing to read rather than the self centered, blowhard posts that are becoming the norm on here. It made me feel your pain and my heart goes out to you. 0 -
Wonderful post, Rem. 0
