The 1st Year
"We'll do it all .Everything. On our own.. We don't need Anything Or anyone ."
I find myself almost a year out, and I can honestly say I'm doing much better. I'm at a much happier place in my life and I wake up most days optimistic. Today is a sad day though. Sometimes, lets face it, the world gets us down, and people just make us sad. It happens to everyone but when you're a widow and people let you down, it makes you think how there was one person who never let you down and loved you no matter what and they were robbed from you. I know Rob and I were that person for each other. We didn't need anyone because we knew we could do it together. We would build that home and future for ourselves and we would support each other's goals and dreams while we were achieving our own. I miss the one who always brought me up, when others were putting me down.
"I need your grace To remind me To find my own."
He could overcome anything or anyone. And right now I miss that strong person that would help me overcome things and people. He would tell me, "You dont see it, but I KNOW you can do whatever you set your mind to. Dont be average when you can be great."
"All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
There all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all "
Even though he's not here physically, I know he's beside me as I write this about him. It;'s a blessing to know that my whole life, I will carry the love that he gave to me. He loved me so whole-heartedly that I can die one day knowing at least ONE person knew me, and loved the ME that I know. Because of him, I know I'm worth it. Because someone like Rob loved me.
"If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"
There are times I wanna give up, and just be with him, but he taught me how to be a fighter just like him. So, even though most days are okay, there are those times when I want to end it all, but I know I just cant do that because I have to live for the both of us now. His goals are my goals too and I have to make him proud. Because he is a part of me, and he lives on, in all I do.
