October 18, 1994 was my hubby Jim's last day on earth....the day he had a heart attack he was outside in his yard planting over 100 bulbs..thinking ahead for Spring....his beautiful garden was his life...along with his family...he never got to see them bloom....it's been 17 years and I can't believe that the time has gone by so fast...I always go out in Spring looking for the crocus, and tulips, but his IVY has taken over....yes I say that with a bit of anger in my voice...he loved his ivy, but it was never out of control as it is now....I figure if i let it go into the grass I won't have to cut it any more....but that was just a thought....He was my funny man, my handy man, my housekeeper, and my cook, along with my gardener....and my LOVE....oh i do so miss him...Life is full of changes....but his memory lives on...I miss you jimmy.

Judy...reading this made me cry. You were truly blessed having a hubby like him, and I know, that YOU know it! Bless all those happy days you two shared. What a loss for you and yours.
I was blessed Corgi...he was only 56 when he died...we were high school sweethearts...thanks for stopping by...
So sad Judy. In 1999 I lost one of my three brothers on October 19. This brother died of congestive heart disease on our mother's birthday.
Life goes on and it looks like you have created lots of new and good memories since your husband's unexpected and early death.
We will always remember those we have loved. God bless you.
