If
You See God, Tell Him, I Said Thank You....
From the time I was three years old, I can remember Justin’s mom and my mom visiting and drinking coffee together. I remember them laughing for hours as Justin and I played in the middle of the kitchen floor. This was the beginning of my life with Justin.
From Kindergarten to high school, Justin and I were the best of friends. Because we were the same age and live two doors from each other, we did almost everything together.
After graduating from high school, I went to one college and Justin went to another. This was the only time we were apart from each other, and it was during our college years, that we took our friendship to the next level.
We were in our junior year of college, when we decided to take a leap of faith, and became romantically involved.
I knew after the first time we made love, there would never be another man in my life.
Justin and I graduated from college in June, a year and a half, after we experienced each other as a couple. Our parents arranged a small wedding for us, and we were married the first weekend in August. We then left for a three week honeymoon in Europe.
We returned home the first week in September and begin our life as a young married couple.
Justin worked in San Francisco and I worked in Sacramento, the state capital of California, which was located about an hour from Benicia, the small town where we lived, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our life was truly happy, I felt blessed, and my marriage to Justin proved to be one of my best life decisions. We had two beautiful children, Justin Jr., and Marilyn.
Sudden death, visited my home after 12 years of marriage. Justin passed away, without warning. The autopsy report revealed that Justin had an enlarged heart, which caused an irregular heart beat, which resulted in a massive heart attack. The doctor said they were surprised that Justin had lived as long as he did.
Since Justin passed away, I found myself day dreaming a lot. My children were the only reason I didn't fall completely apart.
I find it hard to thank God for the wonderful years I shared with my husband. I feel cheated and slightly angry that Justin was taken from me so suddenly. Before Justin passed away, I prayed each day, now I feel betrayed, sad and alone. So please forgive me for asking, but if you see God, please tell him, "I said thank you."
