Tracie found this neat picture of Jim and myself, taken out behind the theater...winter before last, I think. I didn't have that much hair last winter.
I am really bummed today, because several people have been asking me for pictures of Jim and me together for a slide show that is being made for the memorial. When I say I can't find any good ones, they say, "What about your wedding pictures?"
I don't have any wedding pictures. Or at least, no good ones. All I ever had was proofs. It took me so long to get the choices back to the photographer, that I guess she lost the disk, so she never got me any pictures. Family members and people who couldn't come down for the wedding were bugging me for pictures so badly that I sent out all the good proofs, and now I have hardly any left, and they are not the best shots.
This makes me so sad.
Ronni, ask your friends and family to scan the proofs you sent them and email them to you...or send you the proofs so you can scan them. That's something they can do for you and I know they would want to! Ask!
ReplyDeleteThat's what Ramona said, CG, but I can't remember who all I gave them to. It was seven years ago.
ReplyDeleteStill, I will try.
Ronni, you are in such a state of overwhelmed. Please don't feel pressured by anyone or any thing. You must slow down and breathe and remember what GG sez about debts being resolved before anything goes. I feel for you. You are way too vulnerable to deal with any large decisions. Wait a year. Put everyone except for you on hold.
ReplyDeleteIt is impossible for you to have true perspective right now. Take care of you, deario. xxoo
CG, that is.
ReplyDeleteRonni - that is such a good picture. You both look so happy in it. Whatever came over Jim that night it looks to me it had nothing to do with how you two were together. I've mailed you a card. You should get it soon.
ReplyDeleteRonnie did you have a photo of you and Jim on the blog at one time, you were wearing a lovely antique lace dress?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if it was your blog or someone elses.
Keep writing love, and let your emotions flow.
Caring and loving thoughts to you special lady.
Yes, I remember seeing a photo of your wedding - you in a lovely long dress, Jim in a loose white shirt and the girls.
ReplyDeleteIt appears Jim had some height on you. My H was 6'3" and I am 5'4" so I always had to look up to him as well as run to keep up with him.
The good memories will far outweigh the ones that bring on the tears, but it will take time.
It IS helpful to talk about it all.
Jim was 6 ft, and I'm 5'4".
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of those proofs that I scanned in, but they are not clear enough to put up in a slideshow.
Wonderful photo. It's still so hard to believe that he's really gone. When I think of it, my brain says, "Wrong. Not possible." I can't fathom how difficult and painful this must be for you. Truly -- can't wrap my mind around it. I think I would fall completely apart.
ReplyDeleteAs for photos, we've turned the house upside down and can't find ANY of the photos from our wedding. I know there's a great photo of you & Jim in there, and it's driving me crazy that I can't find them. If they ever turn up, I'll send you a copy!
I wish so much that there was more to say than "I'm thinking of you" -- but I *am*, all the time. Much love to you and everyone around you. And...I'll keep saying so, so you know we continue to be here for you!

I only have one photo shot with you and Jim shot in profile better shot of minister. Its on the way Betty.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture. I thought there were a couple pics of you and Jim from the birthday party?
ReplyDeleteOh, Lisa...there aren't any of the two of us. I was hogging the camera.
ReplyDeleteRonni,
ReplyDeleteI've still got a set, I think.
I don't usually lose 'em. They're stored.
I'll go through some things.
Joni
Fire Berry, I think I love you!
