"Till death do us part" became a reality of my life,
after almost 35 years with Rick,
he earned his "home" April 2015.
My heart broken, my life shattered.
The ashes of grief overwhelming and suffocating.
But one breath at a time.
One moment.
One memory.
And here I am today.
Learning to breathe and to live - without him.
Searching for the smiles each day.
I grew up with Rick ... it is now time for me to grow old.
I love you Rick and I miss you like crazy.

Fight Like a Girl published it on their website.
It's now been a few years since I had uterine cancer.
