Description

Eddie and I lived a simple life. We always said we loved our boring lives and didn’t care for a lot of drama. We went along for thirty-two years of marriage together. We weren’t always the happiest couple, and we weren’t always the saddest either, but somehow we always found a way to live one more day together. We took our marriage for granted a lot of times.

When Eddie got sick, our lives changed. We saw each other in different eyes. I saw him getting more heavenly minded. I saw him praying and talking to the Lord more. I saw him kinder and loving more, and I changed and fell back in love with him. I began realizing that he was getting weaker, and I became more afraid of losing him, and when I did, my heart was broken.

This is the journey of the first year without him. It is the year of firsts–the first Christmas, the first New Year, the first anniversary without him, the first time of doing taxes, the first birthdays without him, and everything else. It is a journey of love, forgiveness, grief, and every other emotions that I endured. It is holding on to the Lord with everything I had left and realizing that the Lord gave me the greatest gift of all, the assurance Eddie made it to heaven and the gift of love that mended our marriage.

I pray this book will help others who are going through this journey of the year of firsts.
