April 2008 Erica's Blessing DayI have neglected posting this month....I normally try to post each month on the 19th but as you can see I am now just getting around to it. My reason I feel is a good one. On May 16th last Saturday morning we got word that a friend had passed away. She was only 39 and she left behind 5 young children and a husband who would've celebrated 19yrs of marriage together next month. Since then it just has seemed that time has stopped. It was just such a shock. Today was her Funeral...it was one of the most beautiful funerals I've been to.
Rich and I have been doing a lot "what if???"..... talking. We just want to make sure we have things in order if something like this were to happen to one of us!! You just never know.
Rich is my best friend and I love him more then anything in this world. He gets me!! I am not the easiest person to live with me... trust me I know I have to live with myself everyday. He is a wonderful husband and excellant father. He knows how to treat a woman. He's a great provider. He never complains. Always looking out for mine and the kids best intrests. Willing to make sacrifices. example: when we got married Rich drove a nice two door Accura. He sold that to pay off debt I had made before we got married and now drives a little beat up Sentra he said he will continue to drive it until the thing can't be repaired anymore!! He is smart, well read. Great listener. Honest, well trusted. Has a great sense of humor...keeps me laughing. If I were to lose Rich early in this life I would be lost. I told him I wouldn't even know how to pay the bills. I love when we are together!! If I could spend every minute with him I would. I feel safe and secure when I am with him. I know I take him for granted... I will be the first to admit it. I have it so good. This recent experiance once again reminded us how precious life is...how short this life is. There are no guarentees how long we will have eachother in this life. We do however share one common belief... a commitment almost 9yrs ago we made to each other when we became husband and wife. That if we live true and faithful to eachother we would spend the rest of eternity together with our children and this makes us very happy. And who wouldn't want that??
