I wanted to write this post for me so that I can have a piece of the conversation written. I am also doing this for you all to make sure you love the people you speak to daily. Always end the conversation in a good way. Yesterday was my hubs birthday so happy heavenly birthday to him. This is the last conversation I had with him an hour before he passed away.
The last conversation with the hubs
I normally go to bed late at night so the night before the hubs died the kids and I made homemade pizza at home and we went to bed around 10 or rather they did I was up til about 2 am. He got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and came in the hallway and was like take your ass to bed. I eventually went and didn’t see him the morning he left. He called me around 10 am I missed that call and then I called him and he must have missed me so he had to call me back at 11:45 the conversation starts around then…
Hubs: Hey sorry I missed your call I am about to go to the golf course in a few. I have been delivering tax stuff today. We should be getting ours soon
Me: We gonna probably owe this year we in a different tax bracket yay
Hubs: Nah we gotta find a way not to owe so much we ain’t that much over lol
Me: You right. With me working and making a little money though I feel good about this year. I finally feel like I contributed to this household
Hubs: You do fine making sure dinner is on the table matter of fact what we eating tonight
Me: You know I don’t cook on Saturdays I don’t know why you ask that every Saturday. I think we can do some wings I’ll pick it up or call me when you almost off so I can put in the order and you can grab on your way home tonight
Hubs: Bet
He was about to get off the phone but I remembered that it snowed and iced a little the night before so before he hung up I was like
Me: Wait…be careful out there a lot of black ice is still around.
Hubs: You know I drive better than you. I got this!
Me: Whatever
He died when a tree hit him around 1:10pm we got off the phone at 12:05.
I replay that conversation in my head many many times wishing that I said I love you. Wishing that I said something else. I will never get those moments back but I can say that the conversation was a good one and didn’t end in a fight or something I would truly regret later.
Happy Birthday to the hubs! I hope he is celebrating in heaven.

Here are some things I learned from my hubs that I wrote last year.
I love bagels so I will be making this over the weekend
I’m giving you 5 reasons to never leave home without your camera.
I am trying to come up with a content calendar for the month and having a hard time doing so. This will help!
I wish I did this when my mom was alive.
Are you in love or are you in need? Some folks don’t know the difference.
Have you mastered the art of conversation? I haven’t quite yet but I’m getting there.
My favorite company that does websites. If I could afford her I would jump on it stat.

April 2, 2019 at 1:15 pmIt’s good that you remember so much of that conversation and now have it written down. My mom died over 20 years ago, I’ve forgotten so much. I don’t even remember what her voice sounded like. I have a voice in my head, but I’m sure if it’s hers or just something I’ve come up with.
