Thirty one years of being in love, loving, caring, sharing, parenting, supporting through the loss of grandparents, parents and addictions. And today it ended.
Dave was my husband for twenty nine years. Our divorce was a necessary step in his disease of alcoholism. It pushed him to have some more periods of sobriety. I would have liked to say that he found it for the rest of his life, but I know that isn't true.
Even divorced he was still my biggest support in parenting, emotionally and financially. He was still my best friend and we still talked all the time. He came to my rescue whenever I needed it whether I thought I needed it or not. He was always my go to guy. Anything mechanical or computer related.
He was a great wood worker and furniture refinisher. We have some nice stuff to show for that. Audrie has a dresser and both littles have beds.
I said my good bye to the man yesterday. With all my love. Today I said good bye to my pets in our pet cemetery. I said good bye again to "our house," the one we planned for our retirement. I said good bye to Minnie, Mica, Marseilles and Mittens.
Life as we knew it just ended. And now to find out what life will be like without Dave and Papa Dad. It is another chapter in the continuing journey of my life, just not one I thought I would be having this early.
RIP Dave Light and Love on your journey.
