Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that’s their story. Good times, noodle salad. One of Anita’s favorite movies was 1997’s “As Good As It Gets” starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear. [...] “A wedding begins a new world as two hearts pledge one love and two lives join in one dream.” I found our wedding guest book. Our wedding took place on August 20, 1994, in Lincoln, Nebraska. About 250 friends and relatives attended including my best man and his fiance from Paris, France. When Anita and I dreams [...] Anita died August 21st, 2009. Over the next several days, scores of people came to the viewing and funeral. Still, many more could not make the trip that would have liked to. By the day of the funeral, I knew that I would make a trip to visit these people, located mainly in Nebraska, when [...] Note: this post is disturbing, so you may not want to read it. It is also a spoiler for the movie “Inception”. I picked the wrong movie to see tonight. From the previews, I thought “Inception” was something like Matrix. From the two short reviews I read, I thought it might be the movie of the decade. [...] I feel like today is a lost day. That term just came into my mind. “Lost Day” It’s how I describe a day where nothing is really planned, and I don’t really end up doing anything. Let me rephrase. Although I enjoy relaxing days and nothing days, I do not enjoy days where I feel there are [...] Julia said to me this morning, “Dad, when are you going to do something with all of mom’s old clothes? If you are going to give them away, you can just give some of them to me.” “Yes, Julia, I do need to do something with them,” I said as she walked away wearing a pair [...] Tomorrow is 11 months since Anita died, so the one year mark is a short time away. I have been on vacation and haven’t been focused on August or even given it any thought. But in the last few days a number of people have asked me questions along the lines of “what are you going [...] Today I was reminded how inspired and full of God’s love I feel when I sift through old boxes of Anita’s papers. For my accountant today I dug into a box of old bill stubs, or so I thought. Half way down I realized it was another box of Anita’s to-do lists, brainstorms and inspirational [...] I didn’t got so far as to tell my kids that yesterday was the worst of my eight Father’s Days, but it was. I honestly can’t think of previously bad Father’s Day, not even the one five years ago when we spent the day driving from Chicago to Atlanta in a U-Haul truck and Anita [...] I found this in the back of our coat closet. It is a collage of magazine images and words (heavy on words – this is Anita we are talking about) that Anita made around January 2007. The directions were to cerate a college filled with images and phrases of things that are important to you [...] |
