Posthumous birthday greeting to my significant other (2022)
TME 12/6/1936-7/22/2022
Happy Birthday, Babe! (I know you hated it when I called you that. You said it sounded as if I had forgotten your name, but I'm doing it this time, anyway.)
You always woke me or called me at 12:01 a.m. so that you would be the first to wish me a happy birthday. Now it's my turn to get even. I wish you were here to enjoy the humor.
It's a little early for bourbon, so let's just start with a Bloody Mary for breakfast. I'm not working right now, so no worries about appearing in an inappropriate condition.
I miss you so much! The sense of loss is continuous. You're never out of my thoughts, no matter what I'm doing. The comfort is in knowing that in your afterlife, everybody will think and do everything exactly the way you think it should be done. No disagreements, no problems, no passwords. Just continual contentment. That said, when the party starts that the heavenly hosts are arranging for you, you will be pleased!
Since I can't take you to dinner or celebrate in any of the usual ways, my 2022 birthday gift to you, my love, is to wish you the eternal peace you so deserve, today and every day.
