Hi Honey, it’s been almost three years since you’ve been gone. Happy Birthday! I know your celebration today will be Heavenly! Today you’d be turning the same age I was when you left the earth. It’s so strange, as I grow older here; you’ll remain the same age in my memories. For myself, I wish … Continue reading Where’s the Exit? Heavenly Birthday Man, Since You’ve Been Gone…

My Shooting Star Last night I saw the brightest shooting star, And saw a glimpse of you from Heaven…far; A gift from God to see you shining bright, So brilliant, even though, dark was the night. And though they call it Orionid’s Shower, I know it comes from God; Our Higher Power, Who makes the … Continue reading My Shooting Star… Poetry & Awe: GOD’S Majestic Heavens! (Orionid’s Meteor Shower, October 2025)
Dear Dave, Right before you left the earth, we had a moment that was true. We looked into each others eyes, And both of us said, “I love you.” Your eyes were always hazel brown, But that day they were green. I saw in them, the worlds between you; many things unseen. Everything still left … Continue reading Your Green Eyes (I Still See Them in Our Children…)
Oh God, my God, here comes my enemy again. Make it go away. I know it’s coming when at night, I become cold, needing three blankets to get warm. Cold chills creep up and down my shivering body. Black shadows come. I sleep that way, knowing what the morning will bring: Fear. Relentless and cruel. … Continue reading GIANTS… A Battle Psalm (2 Year Anniversary of My Husband’s Death. Dave Pelleman lives in Heaven)
My like is complete chaos… filled with grief, stress, health issues, anxieties, and responsibilities unheard of… just one person dealing with way too much in this chaotic world gone mad. I’d hate being president. I’d have to be responsible for an entire country, not to mention what I can barely handle as a new widow … Continue reading My 2024 Election Vote is SpongeBob for President… Let’s Love Like Jesus!
It would’ve been our 30th, But now you’ve gone and died. My gift is knowing you’re with Christ; The one they crucified. He loves you best, and better, than I ever even could. I’m sad, but also happy That your life is now so good. I heard your song the other day. I hadn’t driven … Continue reading 7/23/24 We’ll Never Have Paris… (Anniversary Poem)
I’m tired, way past fatigue, and extended beyond exhaustion. I’ve barely been able to write. I am a regrettably a year behind in answering messages and replying to comments, and I’ve only written a few posts. But, I always post on Easter; my late husband’s favorite holiday and mine, so I’m giving it a go… … Continue reading 2024/3/31 Dying to Live… Easter Grief Through Loss… How Can Anyone Go on Without Jesus?
Dearest Dave, Yesterday morning, after only one hour of sleep, the dogs woke me up to go outside. There was a gorgeous red sky, and I wanted to appreciate it. But, I was already seeing red; because I just couldn’t sleep last night… not at all. “Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each … Continue reading 2024/2/21 Dear Dave, It’s Been an Entire Year of Grief… Heaven Sent Me a Cardinal
Merry Christmas, Love… I can’t believe you’re gone. It’s birthday time, dear Jesus, Give us strength to carry on. I know the lights in Heaven Shine much brighter than down here, And even though your soul is in The stars; your spirit’s here. It’s here within our hearts, And the memories we share. It’s here … Continue reading Merry Christmas to My Husband in Heaven (a poem)
