Hello dear friends this is ladypeewee.

We Had Peewee's service today and I want to interduce you to my wonderful Husband His real name is William. I am going to share a few memories that I have of William. He was a small man with a big heart and he loved me with everything in his heart. all through our life together he always took care of me until he couldn't anymore. However he still tried by doing small things such as when I would wake up to go to the kitchen or bathroom I would get out of bed and move through the darkness so I didn't wake him by turning on a light. However he would always wake up and turn his bedside light on for me. so I didn't trip in the darkness. He did this right up till 2 days before he passed.

He would hold my blanket for me when I got back in bed, and then try to cover me back up until he was so weak that he couldn't raise his arm anymore. Just small things like that right up to the end just to show me he loved me.

When William got sick back in 2014 he started planning his funeral . He told me what music he wanted, he told me what color casket he wanted, and where he wanted to be buried .

He wanted the songs Amazing Grace and I will always love you By Dolly Parton. The last song is from a memory we share from when we were kids in love.

He wanted each of our kids to write down their favorite memory of them together and have them read at his service.

The service was so beautiful He was so handsome in his blue western shirt. We put some of his favorite things in his casket. Such as a pack of cigarettes in his breast pocket because he always had a pack in his pocket, his sister made him a blanket cause he was always cold.his grand kids put a can of Yahoo drink to take with him, his wedding ring that had gotten to small for his finger over the years, I put it up to keep from losing it, well I found it and it finally fit him again. his watch that he always wore that was his granddaughters, Pictures of his grand kids and the favorite memory pages, and last a letter that his grand son wrote only for him.

The letter from Heaven was read out loud, the favorite memories was read out loud, Amazing Grace was sung by Three wonderful people from the church and The song by mark wills When You Think of Me.

When William and I started planing his service together I didn't really want to do it. However I am so glad we did it together. The last song I added If you want to hear it go to Youtube and type in the name. I wished I could add a link here however I don't know how.

What a beautiful memorial to your William aka Peewee. May he rest in peace. Praying that God will surround you with beautiful memories and comfort you.

Here's one of my favorite Alan Jackson songs:

I WANT TO STROLL OVER HEAVEN WITH YOU

If I surveyed all the good things that come to me from above

If I count all the blessings from the storehouse of love

I'd simply ask for a favor of him beyond mortal king

And I'm sure that he'd grant it again

I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day

When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away

Then we'll enjoy the beauty where all things are new

I want to stroll over Heaven with you

So many places of beauty we long to see here below

But time and treasures have kept us from making plans as you know

But come the morning of the rapture together we'll stand anew

While I stroll over Heaven with you

I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day

When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away

Then we'll enjoy the beauty where all things are new

I want to stroll over Heaven with you

I want to stroll over Heaven with you.

Beautiful love story and touching tribute here, as well as the beautiful celebration of his life. I am struck by how young he was. Early onset dementia is a special burden and I am holding you in my heart dear Lady PeeWee. May your dear husband William rest in peace, and may you always find comfort in his precious memory.

A life well lived; no regrets. As it should be. I found great peace in the aftermath of DH’s service. Friends, family, photos, videos, shared memories all helped me to more vividly remember him when he was “whole”, before Alz robbed me of his companionship. May you find peace and comfort in the coming days and months, and happiness in your memories. And thank you for sharing your love story.

Thank you all for your replies and comments. This Group has helped me so much over the years.

When we are going through this journey, We come to the last time our loved ones does something and not realize it's the last time. Taking the trash out or washing dishes, doing laundry , checking the oil in the car. holding hands or kissing and being intimate with each other, all these thing hurt and make us sad when we realize that the last time was the last time.

The heart break really comes after they are gone. I went to mine and William's favorite place to eat by myself the other day, I thought it wouldn't bother me because I've eaten there before all alone before he passed, This time it hit me that I would never take him in there again. And I broke down and cried like a baby. I can't look at his side of the bed yet so I have it covered up with pillows and blankets, I had to clean out his dresser cause I can't look at his clothes, I went to church Sunday and I lost it because they sang Amazing Grace Which is one of the songs that was sung at his funeral service. I need a change so I am going to go stay with my sister for awhile. When asked how i am doing i reply with I am fine it's fine everything is fine and it's going to be ok.
