Liz and Ted Walker hanging out at Hamburger Patties,
showing how time goes by.
Anna Perry sent this photo to me this week. She found it going through old photos. Their restaurant is now Perry's on Fremont and we have been friends for quite a long time. I barely recognize us. I have been looking at more mature faces of late. And of course I haven't been able to gaze on Ted's face for almost a year. I'm delighted to say I think he looks fabulous and handsome and he was mine.
Almost a year. Wow! I can't believe it. Much has taken place since last November 20th. My life has been full and greatly enriched by family and friends. A year's worth of reading, water aerobics, visiting, babysitting, hugging, crying, laughing, some traveling, enjoying shows, a little TV, walking Gwennie (my dog), eating chocolate sundaes and cereal, pulling my "widow" card whenever I feel like being helpless, etc., etc. All the kind of everyday things that can take up a year of one's life.
Despite all that, it still feels like yesterday that Ted died.
And Time Goes By!
It certainly does feel like yesterday....
ReplyDeleteLiz, you are a wonderful writer. You bring out the essence of what's happening to you - the terrible sadness, plus the "life goes on" aspects. I don't want to walk in your shoes in a few years, but if I do, I hope to do so well.
ReplyDeleteLiz, I love you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Its like a little window to your sole.
