Little did either of us know tonight, when we said, I Love You,<\/em> to each other as we said goodnight <\/em>would be the last time that we would ever hear each other’s voice again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I am writing this, so many years have passed, my heart still breaks as it was yesterday. These were the last words that My Yankee Airman and His Southern Belle would ever say to each other.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, over the years, I remember how we just did not want to say <\/b>goodnight<\/em>; was that a premonition of things to come, was it just that it was so good to be talking together, or was that God’s Plan to let us have the opportunity of saying I love you as on the day we wed<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, how I wish we could have kept our promise. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set so many goals when we were just newlywed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were right on target<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had so many plans.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, we had our whole lives ahead of us. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went through periods of steadfastness.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were days of resolution, as well as forgiveness of ourselves.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as times of forgiveness of each other.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yes darling, there were nights of love, laughter, and smiles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could never have imagined the changes life would bring to us. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never in a million years did I expect to find myself in my present situation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was always to be My Yankee Airman and His Southern Belle<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just wasn’t supposed to be this way.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God always has the Perfect Plan for our lives; sadly, God’s plan and our plan are not always the same. It is often difficult, heartbreaking, devastating, life changing when this is the case.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing and believing that God always has the perfect plan is one thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding, dealing with it, and accepting it is an entirely different thing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a beautiful little white, trimmed in gold, plaque that hangs on the wall next to my bed with the following verse Psalm 46:10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Be Still and Know that I Am God”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is first thing I see when I awake in the morning and the last thing I see when I fall asleep in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
