Happy Valentines Birthday, My Love...

Since 2001, Valentine’s Day has had a bittersweet twinge for me as it is the birthday of my late husband, Charles Gene Seaba (02/14/56-03/15/00) who would have turned 58 today.  

 

It has been 14 years since his passing and I have been able to transition from a place of paralyzing and agonizing grief to the place where I am grateful and feel blessed by having had the privilege of knowing him.  If I never have another romantic relationship again, I am content with knowing I had a great love with him and he is, to say the least, a tough act to follow.   There is nothing quite as precious as seeing an alpha, alpha male mushy with love and that is what I saw in him for me.  Of course we had our down times along with the good but I never doubted the love we had.   For 12 years he was my friend and much to our surprise, a romance bloomed for us.   I had the pleasure and joy in seeing him in the last year of his life, draw closer to God so I know in my heart, I will see him again once my time in this life is over and we meet on the other side for our eternal life together.

 

I also was enormously blessed to have found a family in his two brothers and sister, and his mother, Margaret was like a second Mother to me.  There is not a time I have gone to the movies since her passing on 03/13/00 that I don’t think about her and miss my “movie buddy”.
