Hi all – Cindy asked me to post this for her.

–

10 years ago today Steve and I shared our first kiss. Steve was my everything. My days began to the sound of his daily greeting of “good morning beautiful” and ended with me drifting off to sleep safe and warm in his arms.

I have this clear image of he and I the day before the accident, stomping down the 21st hill, hand in hand. Our gaze falls on each other as we both break into these smiles so big it feels as if our cheeks could burst and exclaim “we are SO lucky”. I still hold the feeling in my heart that I had at that moment, the love is still there.

Steve was the kind of man who’s existence gave reassurance to others that where were in fact good people out there. He was the Man many dreamed of finding and i was still amazed he was all mine.
When I first met Steve I was drawn to him because he seemed to be the most amazing person i had ever met.  He remains that, the most amazing person I’ve ever met, and every year i would remind him of that on this day. The love we had didn’t need to be explained or spelled out, it simply radiated.
Our love was inspiring, most importantly to ourselves.

Steve challenged me to be the best I could. He could not have been prouder or have loved me more.
With Steve in my heart I knew i could do anything, i knew i was beautiful.

This love that remains in my heart propells me through this.

Steve and I built the most amazing family over the past 10 years and I have to say thank you to all. The love and support you all have shown is what has kept me going. Well the love, support and tales of Steve, those help too.The visits, phone calls, packages and emails remind me that you all are still there, waiting to continue on with me. Thank You.

As for my recovery Steve would be proud, in usual Cindy fashion I’m ahead of the curve, driven to push myself and mainly using my walker to get around. Being upright gives everything a whole new perspective for the new chapter that lies ahead.

Happy Anniversary Baby, all my love-c
