Another Year Without Harry

Harry and Becky Wedding

Tweet Two years ago today, on January 22, 2009, my boyfriend of over 3 years, Harry, passed away.  Last year, I had a really hard time with this day, and this year isn’t much better.  I know he is still here with me.  He sends me signs all the time, usually in the form of…

You Should Have Taken Joe

Tweet There is this guy. We’ll call him…“Joe.” Joe is a drug addict. Joe is the person that gave Harry the super-strong pills that eventually killed him. He then had the balls to call me and ask for them back.  Joe is also a felon of some sort, I’m not sure of the details. Anyway,…

333: Signs from the Other Side

Tweet Harry was OBSESSED with the number 333.  He would call me or text me when it was 3:33pm and always saw 333 everywhere. Serial numbers, house numbers, if he came across a number, it most likely had 333 in it.  It happened so much during our relationship that it was a little freaky. Just…

The First Year: RIP Harry

Tweet This is the day I have been dreading.  I saw it on the calendar coming up and cringed. A year ago today, January 22, 2009, my boyfriend of 3+ years, Harry passed away.   All day today, I’ve been reliving the events of January 22, 2009 in my head.  Fighting with him in the…

I am Without an Emergency Contact

Tweet I went to a new doctor yesterday.  They gave me all the typical forms to fill out. Everything was fine until I got to the “Emergency Contact” section.  It was at that point, that I realized, I no longer have an emergency contact.  Until 2005, it was my Mom.  Then, I moved in with…

Tweet Although I am in the wake of the worst year of my life this Thanksgiving, I still have a lot of things to be thankful for: My family. My parents are on the other side of the country but I talk to my Mom more now then I did when she lived a few miles…

Lucky Cat Tattoos: MAJOR #fail. Twice.

Tweet For those of you that have followed my blog for a while might remember in March when I went to get a tattoo on my wrist as a tribute to Harry.  I had “designed” it myself, although it was quite simple:  a big bold “lmL” with the words “Forever in my heart 8.11.76-1.22.09″ underneath…

The First First Date

Tweet I went out  to lunch on Thursday with a guy, my first “date” since Harry passed away. It just made me realize how much I miss him and how we were perfect together.  I was not looking to be dating yet, but was contacted via Facebook by this guy who I had gone to…

Happy Birthday Harry

Tweet Harry’s birthday was yesterday.   He would have been 33.  Since he’s passed away, I’ve made it through Valentine’s Day and July 4th.  Independence day was hard for me since that was always our time of the year to have a vacation alone.  I pretty much curled myself in a ball & didn’t get…

lmL Forever.

Tweet Last Wednesday night, I attended the wake for the mother of two of my co-workers (brothers).  Being at a funeral home again, that smell of the flowers, just the whole thing was really hard.  It reminded me again that life is so precious.  I only stayed for a little bit and headed for the…

The First Valentine's Day

Tweet Tonight, I went out with my little valentine, Emily.  We went to the Outback with her mom, Stephanie and then went back to their apartment and played on her Wii.  I was a Wii virgin until today and I must say I did rather good.  We played “Carnival Games”, and I popped two balloons…

Cleaning out the junk drawers.

Tweet It’s almost been 3 weeks.  Tomorrow.  It really feels like a blur.  I went back there last night and cleaned out our junk drawers.  For 3 years, I don’t know if anything has ever come out of there, but it’s amazing how many things I found that have gone in: 2 different size light…

The launch of SaveBecky.com

Tweet Hi Everyone.  If you are here, that means hopefully you have read my story.  The past year has been a roller coaster of emotions, each horrible occurrence unknowingly making me a stronger person. The loss of Harry on January 22nd literally changed my life and I haven’t known how to deal with it.  I’ve…
