My Sweetheart

I love you. Always & forever.

Taken a couple of years before his kidneys failed ... and before our world began to crumble.

September 5, 1980 - taken @ Richland Baptist Church, 

Brinker Community, Sulphur Springs, TX

I am my Beloved's & he is Mine.

Rick loved driving a big truck. He said it felt like he was getting paid to play.

The kiss. The lick on the end of the nose. Lol. Ick!

This was taken at Lake o' the Pines, Jefferson TX. June 1980. I spent a week camping with him & his family. He had just gotten back from a week long vacation to Oregon. We were dating, but not even engaged at this point. I love this picture.

My Sweetheart.

We were on our way to a friend's Christmas time wedding. I was one of the bridesmaids. Everyone said he looked like Hank Williams, Jr. He would just smile.

I love this picture of my Sweetheart. He loved these palm leaf hats from Sunbody.

He looked so good in them. Love that smile, too. Wow. He looks so alive and well in this picture. Takes my breath away still.
