Memories Of Old Les In Time

Memories ~ The Last Page
This is how I picture Una,
waving goodbye as she climbs
the stairway to heaven.
This is how I picture Una
in heaven the day she first got to see
our little son Larry who has been waiting
all his little life to meet his Mother.
After the funeral, I was just lost.
I couldn't stand the thought of her
being buried somewhere and just leaving her there.
I had her creamated, and I keep the urn with me.
I didn't want to live in our home in South Florida without her.
The emptiness was overwhelming.
I couldn't look at anything in the house
without seeing her NOT there.
I had to leave.
I am now living with my daughter, Tina in Central Florida.
They had a guest house built behind their main home when they
built their house.
I live in the downstairs apartment.
My grandson lived upstairs before he went off to college
and the downstairs apartment was supposed to be for Tina's
mother-in-law to live in.
Her mother-in-law got too ill to ever stay here,
so the downstairs was never finished.
My grandson used it for a bigger garage until I got here.
I finished it out and now I live there.
I will be forever grateful to Pat and Ed for
everything they did for me in North Carolina
and for all the emotional support they have
given me since then. They are true friends.
My daughter Annie is the only one of our children
that lives out of state but she comes to visit me quite a bit.
My son still lives in South Florida so he can come up anytime.
Same with my other two daughters.
I have Una with me and I brought some
of our furniture up here that we had in the house.
I brought our recliners with me that we always had sitting
right next to each other when we watched TV
and our breakfast table that we sat at each morning.
I have a picture of Una Marie sitting on the table
on her side so it's almost as if we still have
our meals together.
It has been almost 9 years now that she is gone,
but I know I will never get over losing her.
I don't even know that I want to.
I love thinking about her,
and that's about all I do.
I have so many great memories of our life together,
And I don't want to ever stop remembering them.
She was the most wonderful wife, mother and grandmother.
She just loved those babies!
It's sad that she
never got to see any of the great grandchildren,
I know she would have enjoyed and loved them too.

I know it is said that time heals all wounds
but to be perfectly honest,
I live my life now only waiting to be with her again in heaven.
I think my web site that my sweet little Daughter Tina
made for me, explains what I mean by "I had a wonderful life".

Many of you have asked if you could use
one of my poems for something in your own life.
You are more than welcome to use any of them.
What I write is for my small support of God.
If it wasn't for him I couldn't write anything.
Your old or new Friend,
Old Les
These pages were designed and written

for her dear Old Dad!
