When I met Bill I was drawn to his self confidence. He swept me off my feet at the Cowboy by cutting in on the dance floor to ask me to dance. Ha! He didn't even like to dance! From that night on I was his. He was funny, charming, handsome and what I wanted.
I remember how much I wanted him to ask me to marry him. He didn't ask in any special way he just casually suggested it would be great to get married. That was good enough for me! With a family of three boys following (actually 4 including Bill) my life was full and complete.
Bill taught me about baseball and hunting until I felt like an expert myself. He showed me what it meant to be generous and unselfish. He made me laugh with all of his stupid jokes! (I really miss that) I feel such a weight on my shoulders without him. He had a way of always focusing on the positive. (I miss that too!) I try to be thankful for all of the great memories that we shared and for what a special husband and father he was.
We had such a nice life and I miss him so much! Bill had a positive outlook that rubbed off on anyone who was around him, especially me! He made me laugh! I could use more of that right now. I wish I could hang out with him again and talk about politics. He was very well informed, after all, when he couldn't sleep at night he claimed he called George Bush to discuss the world's problems! ;-) It's strange to make decisions on my own, I would rather Bill call the shots any day, his ideas were always good ones. I probably should have told him that more often.
