My wonderful and loving husband, Tommy

My husband passed away on October 4, 2011. He was born on October 3, 1968.

Here is a poem that I wrote today for my husband that is forever:

Tommy Elmore at Oak Flats in AZ




It has only been several days since I saw your loving face
It seems like an eternity, and the pain never ends
I can hear you saying, "Linda I love you"
and always my reply, "I love you too."

They say time will heal the pain
but let me say I know it will not mine
You were my soul mate
and you still are
forever

Our kids are missing their special father,
I am missing my special husband.
We know you miss us too but you had to go
into the Spirit World

Just remember I hear you breathing, talking
and I will always remember your loving face

You will be forever missed
you will be forever thought of
Please just let me feel your presence
for that is what holds me together

I love you Tommy, my husband for eternity
Your children love you too, for eternity
Take care and wait for us all
until we meet again

I am so sorry, Melinda. I know how you feel. My Bear died in 1999 and 2010 - I lost him twice. The words, "it's not fair" are always in my mind but I know life is not a fair, it's often a cold and hard reality. We have to learn to go on, to breathe in and out even when we think we can't, to put one foot in front of the other, even when we don't want to. My heart still aches and I know it will till the day I take my last breath and join him. I am here any time you need me.

Thank you so much Marie. Your words are so true. I will mourn him the rest of my life.

He was a special man, pampered me like I was a queen. I miss him so much and always will

Everything I do will be for him

Love you babes
