I miss : the softness and warmth of her in my bed...
having that cup of steaming hot coffee with her in the mornings..sitting on the patio, watching the Egret leave their rookery for the day.
her soft blue eyes....smiling always..at me.
the best friend I had in her.
the kisses stolen...anyplace...anytime...the feel of her hand on my thigh
those quiet intimate moments just after making love or going to sleep when all you could hear was our breathing and feel the warmth
going to Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving Dinner each year
lugging our huge stockings together up on the bed Christmas Eve..when no one else in the world existed but us
her sense of humor...her gentleness...her laughter
sharing a plate of sushi
sitting side by side in matching recliners..holding hands...watching TV
the weekend forays into the mountains of western NC...gem mining...hiding away in the cabins nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains
most of all I miss her...my Wife...our life....and her undying love and devotion...RIP baby!!!
