widowhood and wedding anniversaries

Introducing Chris and Maggie

May 3, 2011 by Jason Weaver Leave a Comment

Like everyone else who shares the title “widower” or “widow”, I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t kick sleeping dogs or twist baby toes to make them cry. I can’t imagine what I did that pissed off the devil (or God) to get me to this place but here I am. Here you are. I’m not going anywhere so I might as well be polite and introduce us…

Loveinity

December 18, 2010 by Taryn Davis Leave a Comment

This Thursday will mark our 5 year wedding anniversary. As I’ve stated through the years, this day has always been more difficult for me than any other…including the day he was killed. You see, I don’t define Michael’s life and our life together by the day he was killed, I’ve always defined it by our eternal love, and no day signifies that more…

This is my history

October 25, 2010 by Daniel and Abel Cano-Saenz Leave a Comment

I have been feeling kind of lost lately. I’m a bit unsure about a lot of things. For one, I have been renting a house for the past few months while I sell off my house in San Francisco, which has provided the kids and I a temporary home while we get settled into San Diego. As of today, I no longer own a house. Yes, my house sold, which is good, but…

Anniversary Gift

October 11, 2010 by Daniel and Abel Cano-Saenz Leave a Comment

I am quickly approaching what would be my second wedding anniversary. Can I see a raise of hands as to who thinks this might be a difficult time for me? A no brainer, right?I have come to have a really negative visceral reaction to the word anniversary. It is a sad reality, but I like other young widowed people, missed out on a lot of things that…

Missed But Not Forgotten

June 21, 2010 by Michele Neff Hernandez Leave a Comment

June 16, 2010 was a really busy day. In fact, the night before I was laughing about the fact that every minute of the next day was so scheduled that I felt like the day had flown by before it even began. These last few weeks have been packed with events, meetings, Camp Widow arrangements, packing to take the kids on a trip, the last day of school,…

It Should Have Been ……

June 2, 2010 by Janine Eggers Leave a Comment

…. our 27th anniversary. Friday. The 28th. It should have been.   Instead, it was the day our oldest child/daughter graduated from graduate school. And I was with her. Just me.   It should have been us. But it wasn’t. It was just me. Again.I get tired of it being just me. For everything. Every big day. Every “first day of ….” Every “last day…

A Toast

January 10, 2010 by Kim Hamer Leave a Comment

A peace settled around me this morning that muffled the noise of the day and left me smiling (except when I was trying to get the two kids out the door to pick up the third kid, so we could get the oldest kid to his concert on time) Photo above.  “It is all good.” I kept thinking…and feeling. “I am exactly where I am supposed to be.”15 years…

Happy Anniversary

December 19, 2009 by Taryn Davis Leave a Comment

December 23rd will mark the four year anniversary of our love eternal. We wrote our own vows, we rocked into each other the whole ceremony, we had a moment in time where all else melted away, we sealed our devotion with a kiss.It wasn’t about the dress, venue, gifts, or cake….it was simply about our love being personified.Nearly three years of…

Napping before the show….

December 12, 2009 by Taryn Davis Leave a Comment

I’m tired.I’ve miscalculated my energy for this month, which has equated to many a’naps.In the midst of the over-exertion and holiday bustle, I drained my tank with no one in sight to grab me some gas. It’s just a month of lots of everything!December 23rd will be our four year anniversary and December 27th will be my birthday…heck, and lets throw…

Once In a Lifetime

October 17, 2009 by Taryn Davis Leave a Comment

Michael and I always wanted to see the world with each other. We had it all planned out.  After he and I graduated, we would go to Europe and start our travels. From Greece to tropical terrains, we’d see it all (leaving a few places for after retirement) and then head back and start our family.Fast forward to 2007 and our “plans” fell to the…
