> The past few days as the one year has arrived as I am today, it's bringing

> As every couple do during a long and generally happy union, we all have

> Over the years while away on long periods of assignments I missed her, but
> always knew when I opened the door to home. Or walking into the waiting
> crowded air-terminal her smiling face and warm hug was the best home coming
> in the world!
>
> Today, one year after her passing, sometimes I hate opening the door to
> "our
> empty home" that still has her comforting touch that I know will always be
> there. She maybe gone, but her wonderful presence is still here assuring me
> at a low moment she is still keeping an eye on me with her ever loving
> ways.
> I did love her so!
>
> Thank you all for being part of my family.
