I will be forever yours

I will be forever yours

This is the beginning of my life with out my loved one. A lonely road that I must walk without her by my side. I carry her memory with me where every I go. I cannot smile because what ever I do I wish she was here with me.
This year of loss was truly something I never thought would happen. We were supposed to live a long happy life together. Our love was a love many only dreamed of.
I will never see a love like this again. I will never know the feeling of being loved with someone’s body and soul.
We had something special that only a few people know.
Sometimes I laugh with a heavy hart for I always think of you. I miss your bright eyes and cheerfully smile.
The warmth of your hugs and voice that I will never hear again. There will be no one that will replace you. It will be a Loveless journey ahead of me for my hart will be yours and belong to no one else.
There maybe others but I can only love you the way I did. I can only give myself to you.
This year is almost coming to an end and I feel the same hurt as strong as I did in the beginning. Everyone had said it will get easier but I find it harder as time goes on. There are only few moments in my life as I spent them with another that I feel I can escape, but you will always be in my heart and the pain and emptiness will always be there forever.
I will be forever yours till the day I die.

If only

If only I could see you again and tell you how much I love you. Look you in your eyes and see the light of your soul.
If only I could hold you in my arms again and feel your body next to mine. I would hold you tight and never let you go.
If only I knew that you were leaving me I would have held on to you as you left this world.
If only I knew that you would die not I, I would of begged the lord above to take me instead.
If only I had on more chance to kiss on your neck. To make you laugh. To make you feel good about yourself.
If only I could see your smile and hear your voice once more.
If only we could go out and dance and be the couple that shows love on the dance floor. No matter where we went everyone know we were a couple deeply in love. Two lonely souls placed together by the lord above.
There are so many things I feel we have left undone.
I will never feel complete again no that you are gone.
If only I knew the joy I felt with you, I don’t know if I would of taken the chance because of the hurt I feel know.
One thing I do know I will never let myself be put in this place. The hurt is to great to go through again.
Rest in peace my one and only true love

Dedicated to Brenda G. Gomnick.

My grief

My grief.

I wonder through the darkness with my eyes held shut. A mask covers my face, the path I walk I cannot see. My hart feels nothing.
There is no one to feel my grief, to share my lost. I am along with my tears. The hurt overcomes me at times, so much I cannot move. The lost of my love has taken the feeling of love from me. I don’t know if I could every offer it again.
Will I ever feel love again?
Will I ever be able to give love?
Is there happiness in my future?
Will I ever need others in my life?
I am to a point in my life that I have to make a design on how to guild it.
Life is so hard as is, but to get past a death of a person who has made such a difference in your life makes it harder.
She was a ray of sunshine whenever she entered a room.
She was a person that made people laugh.
She made everyone feel good about themselves.
She made me come alive.
She was a gift to all that knew her.
I feel it maybe time to continue on with whatever life I have left but I don’t know if I can. I think to myself I’m doing well but then I get hit with rage and sadness.
Is it time I move on?
Is it right to continue down that road without her?
I don’t know what lay’s ahead but I do know I can’t give what I did before. This hurt is to deep to ever go through it again.
I must welcome the dark and say good-by to the happiness I once knew.


Dedicated to Brenda G. Gomnick.

To what every the future brings

To what every the future brings

I can share my love but I can’t give you me. My soul has been ripped from my body, there is more soul left to give. I will walk this earth for the rest of my life never being able to enjoy another’s love as I have with you my love.
I will never be able to commit to anyone but hopefully be able to share some joy and some laughter. Deep love will never be mine again. I am a damaged goods that can never be repaired.
No one could ever follow in my true love’s foot steeps. She has spoiled me. Her laughter
haunts my memory.
I am changing my life and lifestyle and trying to move on. My love you will always be a part of my life no matter witch direction it goes. I will love you with all my hart. You are a part of me that will live on till the day I die.
I have learned many things from you and hopefully I will be able to live as you did by influencing people and making them laugh at themselves and each other. Being a positive influence by making them happy.
In your memory I will become a better person and serve our family and friends with all the respect and gratitude they deserve.
I am headed into this journey without you but I can feel your hand in mine. Give me strength my dears love because it is time to let you go and move on to what every the future brings.

The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) 2008

The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) 2008

I have lost my identity and the meaning for living. As I look back at last year we were celebrating my rebirth from the dead. Not only was I not suppose to leave the hospital but I was not given much chance afterward. Brenda and all the family gave thanks to god for writing me in the book of life.
We never though that Brenda would not be included in the book of life with me. I’m here and she is gone. God played a bad joke on all that loved her and knew. He took the wrong person and know we are all left to suffer.
My life will never be the same. The fulfillment I felt in life with Brenda will never be again with anyone else. I am a shell of what I use to be. Brenda knew that this would happen. She told me two weeks before she died.
I don’t look forward to the years to come. My eyes can’t see pass today. I have no plan for the future just keep looking back at the passed. I have decided that I will never marry again; it would not be fair to hold that woman up to the height of Brenda’s love. Therefore I will walk the reminder of my life in memories of what I had and lost In Brenda’s death.



Brenda G Gomnick wife, mother, fantastic Grandmother and one hell of a woman, you are greatly missed already and your memory will live on forever.

The first Year Of Loss Of a loved one.doc

I have asked many people how you get through the first year of the loss of a loved one? The answer is the same from everyone I ask. You have to be strong and continue on with your life. I find that the most difficult thing I have ever faced and I can’t seem to get moving. My anxiety grows every week since Brenda died.
I know have to take medicine to sleep and I fight every day not to take medicine for my anxiety. I don’t want depend upon a pill to make me feel good or function every day. I have to fight it or it will control me. It’s bad enough that my depression holds me hostage. Will this ever end?
I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, all I see is the dark. Thank God for the good friends and family Brenda left me with. Two friends in particular that will not let me sit for long.
I am now trying to get out and fight for my life again. I know it will never be the same or even close. I will never love again like I did with Brenda. I don’t know if I will ever love at all. I don’t want to be hurt again. The pain is to great.
I need to find the courage to face what is ahead of me.

Brenda G Gomnick wife, mother, a woman of great worth to all and a fantastic Grandmother. You are greatly missed already and your memory will live on forever.

Rest in peace my bright eyes.

Live Again

I triedall my life by doing the right thing for every one. My friends, family and quittances. Is would always be about them. They were important parts of my life. They matter deeply to me and still do. I always told Brenda if we treat our spouses like we treat friends they would be no devoice.
I lived my life this way and many times it would back fire however till now it never deterred my trust for others. I find myself trusting less and being along more.
Since Brenda died my world has been rocked in a way that I don’t know if I will every get over. For a while I had people in my life keeping me busy but now there lives are involved and I am alone again.
Year’s ago I was use to going places alone, I must get used to it again but taking that first steep is difficult. I was getting use to the female friend campaign on Friday and Saturday night dinners. It was great it was something to look forward to. A mistake that I will never let happen again
As I have been told, I must be a man a get through this and join the world of the living. How the hell do you get past it? How do you join the living after everything in your life has died?
I feel that I need a friend in my life that has gown through what I am going through. Some one who can truly feel my pain and teach me to live again

Why Didn't I Die ?

It’s been 34 weeks - 8 months since Brenda died and the pain has gotten stronger. The little happiness I have from my daughter, grandchildren, friends and family temporarily masks the torment that I go through every night. It was my grandchild’s birthday. Being there celebrating without Brenda was unbearable.
The question- why didn’t I die still runs through my head. Everyday I pry it will be the last so the pain will go away. When I am alone I find myself crying with such intensity that my whole body and soul hurts. As hard as I try I cannot sleep at night. Some days are 24 hours some are 20. The time I spend awake is always spent in sadness thinking of the lost of Brenda.
Everyday is wasted sleeping because I can’t sleep at night. Everything I have tried to do has failed. My life is not worth living. I feel that I have let everyone down especially Brenda; she would of expected more of me. I lay down on the bed and close my eyes and just for a moment I think I will fall asleep my mind starts running.
Is there any hope for me? I can’t live this way. Sometimes I feel like I am jumping out of my skin. I had a dream that I was laying next to Brenda in the grave. We were both on our backs and I was holding her hand. I hope that that dream will come true quickly. It will make others sad but it would put me out of my misery. That may be selfish but I don’t know how much more I can take. I need a job or something to do to keep my mind busy and my body tired.
Everyone tells me that I have to get pass it. How the hell do you get pass the loss of your soul mate? I have moments of happiness but they don’t last for long. I have even tried to go out with some one to feel like a couple again. There was no love involved just company but that hasn’t helped either. I am back in my house thinking to much. I tried to see Momma MIA In the movies but had to leave. It was the last play we saw in New York. My dear friend always puts things into order whether I want to or not. Thank good she is in my life.
I find everything I do walls keep on popping up.

Brenda’s Unveiling

Brenda’s unveiling is now almost two week old and I still feel the same.
I don’t understand what I expected to happen? A big weight lifted off me? That’s crazy for I will always feel the loss of this great lady. Brenda will never be replaced and my hurt will never go away. Did I think that putting a stone on her grave would help me realize she was gone? I knew that Brenda would never return Dec. 11 when she had the stroke. I knew that it wouldn’t be a Hollywood ending. Brenda was gone and my life was changed for every.
The stone does not really tell the story of how great a woman she was. It doesn’t relay the worm caring human being she was. The gentile caring that she gave to everyone she met. Brenda was truly one of a kind. I know that I didn’t deserve her and all that she gave to me. I wasn’t worthy of her love but I will worship it forever.
I just hope as time goes by I will be able to live without her. Even though I surround myself with her friends, the nights and times I spend alone are spent thinking about Brenda. As her face and laughter grow dim her memory will always be in my hart and soul.
My love for Brenda will always be strong. I hope in the future I will find love again but I know that it will never be what Brenda and I had. That was a love story that Hollywood movies are made from. A love that could weather anything and be strong. An unconditional love. I guess I was very lucky to have that once in my life. Now it’s time for me to move on with my life. It wont be easy without Brenda.

The End ( Brenda Gomnick)

The finial day of Brenda is almost here. We will all gather to said good-bye. It will be the last time the majority of her friends will every see her again and her memory will fade as the years go on.
Even though they truly loved her and will miss her, they will never think about her again until they hear or see something to remind them.
Brenda’s memory will live on strong in my hart and soul. I will never forget her for every day I will think about her and how rich she made my life. She for filled everything that I was looking for. My life became really happy for the first time. I was just living a mere existence till Brenda came into my life. I lived a full life, happy and content with Brenda in it. Now I must live with out her. That’s going to be a rough thing to do. I don’t know if I am up to it. Brenda has spoiled me with her love. No one could every equal it. The happiness that I had may never come back again.
What the future will bring I am afraid to face without her. The unknown is scary to face especially after finding true love. Will I every be happy again? Is love in my future? These are things I am afraid to find out. I just can’t imagine life without Brenda even though it has been over six months.
I will need my friends and family around me for a long time to come. This tragedy in my life I may never over come, without the help of my Friends and family to make it easier.
I close my eyes every night in hopes that I will see Brenda again. She never appears. I just want to say goodbye and tell her that I love her. After that I can let her go. Until then I can never truly move on.

Brenda G Gomnick wife, mother, a woman of great worth to all and a fantastic Grandmother. You are greatly missed already and your memory will live on forever.

Finial Goodbye to Brenda Gomnick

My life is going on but I feel like Brenda’s is final coming to its finality. Once the monument is in place and all her friends and family say goodbye that’s it.
That day-that week will be a roughest week for me. It will be a time in my life that I will feel my loneliness the most. I will never forget her. My love for her will grow even in her demise. She was and always will be my one and only true love.
I know that I must move on but Brenda will be in my hart and soul and I will love her till the day I die.
Even though I can’t hold her or hear her laugh any longer I will hold my memories of Brenda very close to my hart. She will be a part of me wherever my journey leads.
This is a journey I thought I would never have to take alone. I thought that we would both live to a ripe old age or that I would go first.
Brenda was my support my partner in life and love. We lived for each other, now there is no one to live for. I have my friends and family along with my grandchildren but it’s not the same as having Brenda. She was the light in my life. The reason for me living. I will remember her child like audited on life. The way things came out of her mouth that made everyone laugh.
When Brenda was around no one sat with a long face. She would have you feeling good about being around her. Brenda was magical in every way.
Brenda was an angle who walked the earth we us for a moment in time, now I will have to let her go. I thank you for the time you have given me to enjoy you.

Until we meet again my angel.

Rest in peace my bright eyes.

This will be my last article about Brenda and myself.

One more Angel in heaven tonight

Today they buried a great man. A man who stood above all others. He was just like Brenda in many ways. When I met Brenda and she changed my life and when she introduce me the Michael he showed me was a true man was.
Even thought his body became week his mind was strong. He never gave up and always looked at the glass half full. I became very friendly with him; he was like another brother to me. I shared things with him that I shared with no one else.
To know Michael is to love him. He had a sense of humor that was unique. He would make fun of himself and the way he did it we would all laugh. Once again the laughter has left our lives. Even in death Michael you leave a lasting memory that will make most of us smile.
You have join up with your Brender(Brenda) once more. There is another angel in heaven tonight. You and Brenda will walk together. I can hear the angels laughing. Down here my hart is broken again, I have lost another true friend. Take care of Brenda for me until I get there. I love you both.
Love you guy, rest in peace.

Michael Penn; if there were more people in the world like him, the world would be a better place.

My first Memorial Day without Brenda

This was my first Memorial Day without Brenda. It was a day of remembering the people who gave their lives for this country. I went to Washington for the weekend, to get away and remember our solders but there was another memory that was with me.
Even though I went with another person Brenda was there in my mind and my soul. Whatever I did I felt that it should have been Brenda here doing it with me. I felt the loss and the pain of her not being there. Once again I felt that guilt to be living without Brenda.
I had a great time there. I had time to clear my head and think about my future without Brenda. What will I do? Where will life take me? Part of that question was answer by a phone call, which was good news. The person that I was with was in Washington before and know where to go. For two days she walked my feet off. I felt relaxed and ready to go fourth for the first time since Brenda had passed away. Monday Memorial Day I was going to have a barbecue at my house. I was excited to make hamburgers on the grill again. Ten people were supposed to come but it dwelled in to half, just five.
It was just as well for I learned that a very dear friend of Brenda’s and then mind had died. I wasn’t much in the mood to celebrate anything at that point. I was almost envious of him because I wanted to be with Brenda. But he knew long before me and he was with her again. He was my source of information about Brenda’s past. He told me all the funny work stories. He was them only person who know that I was going to ask Brenda to marry me the day I did it. I will miss them both. Both Him and Brenda were very unique people and they will both be remembers by many. This world has lost another great person.

Second toughest week

This was the second toughest week I have faced since Brenda’s death. It was our sixth anniversary and only I was here to celebrate it. Luckily I face that day with a loved on by my side. The rest of the week was hard especially at night.
I am going away this weekend to get away from here for two days. I want to clear my head for too much is happening and in a few more weeks I will face the most difficult day since Brenda passed away, her unveiling. I can never put her death behind me but I feel I have to move on. If not know maybe never.
Brenda will be in my hart forever and no one will ever replace her. She was and always will be a very special person to everyone and me who knew her. Every night I pine for her as tears fall down my face. These tears will fall till the day I die. Our love for each other will never be duplicated. We had a true love affair. A deep love that was still growing. I have lost my hart, soul and happiness, no one will replace that.
I must face the rest of my life without Brenda all I have is her memories. That’s not enough for me, I would really like to join her but that’s not going to be. So step-by-step I take trying to start over again. Hopefully I do it right.
Even though I feel that I am getting stronger I still need the love and support of my family and friends. I love and thank you all but please don’t forget me.

No Mother's day fo Brenda





Sunday was Mother’s day. A day where we all celebrate our mothers and all they have done for us. The unconditional love they show us. They are the best friends you have in life.
This year was not the same for my daughter, my mother and me. It was the first year without Brenda. It was a silent solemn day. Each one of us acted happy but deep inside we were all morning for her presents. Brenda always made everything more lively and fun. We all know that we have to accept that that atmosphere will never be around us again. No one will take the place of Brenda.
Mother’s day will never be the same from this year forward. A large part of our celebration has pass away. The light that use to shine has gone out. Darkness has fallen on this day and every day to come. Brenda was the star that shined for everyone.
It was my great fortune to find her and have her fall in love with me. If I live a hundred years I will never be that lucky again. Brenda you were one of a kind.
Our daughter misses you and cries for you just as I cry for you. Our tears will never stop, for when it comes to mother of the century you get the prize. All though you became a mother by marriage you fit right into the roll. No one would every believe that you never had children of you own. You wisdom and intuitiveness was right on. Happy mother’s day Brenda you are missed deeply.


Brenda G Gomnick wife, mother, a woman of great worth to all and a fantastic Grandmother (GiGi).
You are greatly missed already and your memory will live on forever.

Rest in peace my bright eyes.

My past present and future





Edvard Munch was a German painter famous for his painting The Scream. It was of a person standing on a bridge looking at the sky. The shy was black with Streams of colors dropping from it. It looked like the stars and sky was exploding. The person standing there had both hands on each side of the face covering the ears and the mouth was open in a scream position.

I feel that my life is like that painting except behind and in front of me the ground has a creator in it. Behind me is my pass. Back there is my life with Brenda. A life that I don’t want to let go of but have no chose since she has past away. They best years of my life. I wish was on voyager (Star track) so I could go back in time. I will never be that happy again. No one will be able to take Brenda’s place. The sad part is I know that I have to move on. What’s in front of me is fear of the unknown?

My future a place I must go. I must jump over to the other side but I can’t. As I stand there with my hands on my face my pass grows further away and my future is starting to break away also. I am standing on an Island all alone. If I don’t jump over I will lose all that I love. My family and friends. Brenda once said if she died that I would stay home and never go out. I would become a lonely old man. She’ was right, I really don’t want to go out. If it wasn’t for her friends calling me and asking me to go out that’s exactly what I would be doing. Every night I would stay in and cry. I have been doing that for almost five months. It gives me a twisted comfort in a way. Maybe because I don’t wont anyone to see the real pain I am going through. I must close my eyes and jump but before I do I must visit your grave. Will I land on my feet, I hope so.

Is it to Soon?



In the Jewish religion you have what’s called an unveiling within 10 months or a year. I think it’s one of the most barbaric traditions in my religion. It only opens the wound again, you relive the hurt.
Brenda will be dead 6 months on May 19. Six months and I am still trying to get my life together. I can’t find any joy in anything epically the work I was doing. Now I can’t get a job in anything else.
I am very fortunate though to have a great family and Brenda’s friends that have rallied around me. Brenda’s girlfriends make sure that I am ok. Two of them are always check on me. One of them in particular I feel we are getting real close. Weir planning a few getaways together, nothing sexual just because we both need to get away but I really feel comfortable around her. We went dancing the other night after eating out. We hold hands and she grabs me arm. It all feels great to have a woman close again, but when I leave her I feel guilty. I feel like it’s to soon but it feels right. I don’t know. All I know is that I am tired of being lonely. I miss having Brenda next to me.
In June I am having an unveiling for Brenda. Seven months after her death. I feel like I have to do it now if I am going to move on. I have to get back into the world. Start living my life without Brenda. It’s it right?
We went out again tonight Saturday 4,2004 to dinner alone. It felt so good to sit there and talk with her. I fell comfortable around her. I told her all about my pass and all bad things, she didn’t run. I respecter for that and know I feel a little closer.
But I don’t want to get anyone involved with my need for company. I like this woman to much to play her. I respect her to much to hurt her I love being around her, is it right?

Brenda you will live forever


I feel like my life is nothing but bad movie with a sad ending. You know the kind that gives you something to hope for but take’s it away in the end. A movie that teases you with hope when there really is none.
All my life I had good things happen to me just to lose them. I said I would never let that happen to me again. Then I met Brenda and forgot the promise I made to myself. Maybe if I never meet her she would still be alive. It’s been five months and the hurt, loneliness and the anger is still there. As a matter of fact it grows ever day, stronger and stronger.
I look back upon my life, the three happiest times were, when my child was born, the day my daughter and I finally got back together and the day I married Brenda.
Everyday with Brenda in my life was a celebration of life itself. Now there is no life, no joy, no happiness and no celebration. Everyone hangs his or her heads in shock. A woman with the gift to make people smile and laugh. A person who makes everyone fell great about himself or herself. The world has lost a truly unique person. The mold was broken when she was born. Brenda you are gone from sight but never from mind.
I will live my life just to praise your name and memory. To my dieing day I will try and keep Brenda’s name alive, not only to her friends and family but to all on the net who read my articles.

Dame Right I'm Mad






Two people in my family said the saw Brenda in their dreams. I face every night with the same want, to see Brenda in my dreams. See her face; look in to her bright green eyes. Through those eyes see a soul of a true angle. To hold her for one last time and feel her warmth next to me. Look at her smile and hear her laugh. To say goodbye and let her go. For as they say if you really love someone or thing you must let them go. Until I do I will never be able to move forward and until I say goodbye I will never let go.
I truly wish I could believe that Brenda and I will meet up again someday. We only get one time around that we remember. There is no here after. We will be running to each other with outstretched arms and as we reach each other I will lift he in my arms and kiss her again. That’s bull, only in the movies. I can only believe in the here and know.
My life, belief in my religion and god died when Brenda died.
If sounds like I am mad it’s because I am.
I’m made that I’m here and Brenda isn’t. I was supposed to die first and after being in the hospital with a ripped aorta that fact even makes it more so.
I’m mad because I don’t remember if I kissed Brenda goodbye and told her that I loved her as I usually did.
I’m made because we go cheated out of all our years ahead of us.
I’m made because there are to many questions about her death still to be answered.
I’m made because I can’t move on with my life because Brenda’s death weights to heavy on my soul.
I used to make people laugh and smile. I can’t do that anymore. I lost that too. One thing I have learned when you love someone as much as I loved Brenda and you loose him or her your life changes. It changes drastically for the worst. You hart hurts with a pain that is deep within your soul.

My family just celebrated Passover. It’s a holiday of the Jews freedom from their oppressors. I feel that I am still a prisoner of my oppressor –Death. I really didn’t feel like going this year but I did but left early. I just can’t keep my feelings in for long. The days usually end with me crying as I drive home.
I made because Brenda wasn’t there this year.

I have lost all hope in God


Many years ago I turned my face from you god. At that time I thought the punishment was tough enough the you handed to me. It was one that would last all my life.
I learned my religion diligently. I read many books and in general I practiced what they said. I believed that I was so wrong for all those years in not believing in you. There is a God and he walks with you if you walk with him.
Once again in my life I have lost all hope in G-D. It’s just something that people like to cling to when things go wrong. To me it’s all bull shit. I know the words and the history but I don’t believe.
I have been told that god has save me for a reason. In 2007 I was sick and supposed die. I have been saved 4 times and nothing great has happen yet. It’s all bull I guess I am just lucky.
I was given the answer to my prays just to have it torn away from me for no reason. It seem that the god that looks over me is an evil god. One who cares for no one that cares for him. He has his own agenda that has nothing to do in helping his children.
If it sounds like I’m agree your dam right. I’m agree because I have to face my future, happiness, tragedy, watching our grandchildren grow up without Brenda by my side. I have to live the rest of my life urging the presents of My Beloved Brenda. I have to spend every night crying myself to sleep. Everyone’s happiness affects me in the negative way. I feel jealous that I can’t enjoy that any longer.
Life is not fair, death it the only way out. The people who have left this world are the lucky ones. It’s the people left behind that suffer.

Every Day gets harder



Her clothing hangs in my closet. Just a few pieces, the dress she wore at our wedding along with her shoes. A dress she wore at the last wedding we attended together. The wedding was in October she died in December. It was a dress I helped her pick out and a few other articles that she wore on our last cruise in November. Little did we know that it would be the last thing we do together.

Now I sit remembering the good old days but every memory hurts and they all come with tears. All new memories get tied to Brenda. What ever I do she should will be a part of. When I go out with two other couples She should be there. I feel that I am the odd man, the fifth chair.

We could all be talking and joking but I always seem to bring everyone down by talking about Brenda and how I miss her. I try not to but it seems to always end that way.
Brenda would have everyone laughing. We were George burns and Gracie Adams. I miss her laughter and her humor but most of all I miss her love. It was tender along with being intense. I always looked forward in getting in bed with her now I can’t go into the room to sleep.

Every day gets harder to cope with the loss of Brenda but in her death I have learned that she was deeper that I knew. She would give advise to our daughter on raising her children. The reason it’s funny is that Brenda had no children of her own but our daughter told me that she was right on. She help out a lot of people in many ways. What hurts me the most is that our grandchildren will not have Brenda’s wisdom to learn from. She loved them with all her hart and soul and I hope they don’t forget her. Brenda was truly one of a kind.
It was my mother’s birthday and Brenda was not there to make us laugh. All though we all together we all felt Brenda missing absence. I couldn’t be happy for my Mother because the hurt was to great. I feel that it was selfish of me but I just can’t pretend. Brenda is gone and my life will never be the same.

If Only?


I walk the nights from room to room. As I walk out of the room that I sleep in, (her old office), I found a card on a shelf. It read –
I love you in so many ways and for so many reasons…because you know me and understand me like no one else ever could… because you believe in my dreams and care about my feelings…because you make me laugh so hard and smile so often…because you have a way of bringing out the very best in me.
Herb
I love you
In so many ways, and for so many reason, but mostly because you’re my very best friend.

It was signed
I’ll miss you!
I love you
Love me

I don’t remember when she gave me this. Maybe she left it for me that day she went in for that minor surgery. Maybe she knew that she was going to die. She told my sister that she would see at her funeral Friday. She was buried on Friday a week later. I would of never of let her go. If only I would of listen maybe she would be alive today.
I miss you Babe, you were and will always be my soul. I will spend the rest of my life creating a fund to keep you name alive not just for the people who know you but also for everyone. You are a person that should be an example to the world.

Tears fall so easily (I miss you my Love)


I thought that writing about my beloved wife Brenda would help me get over her death.
It hasn’t and never will.
With my eyes open I see her face as she took her last breath. I remember looking at her as her color turned from flesh to yellow. I could see her spirit leave her body.
I knew seven days before they pronounced her death that she would not come back. She had closed her bright eyes for the last time 12/11/07 not 12/19/07.
As I drove her to her death I told her that she would be fine. She come out of her minor operation just fine but it still was the last time she would make people laugh.
The last time I would kiss her goodbye.
The last time I would see her eyes open.
It’s now three months later and the pain is growing day by day. The sleepless night are going into weary days. I have many friends and relatives around me. I talk with them and tell them my feelings but nothing seems to help. The pain and loss is to great. There will be no other like Brenda for the world or me. She was truly a work of art, my dream come true. She was a big part of many persons life and what I lived for.
I have a hole where there use to be hart.
Tears fall so easily. I could be out, sitting home or driving and they start.
My hands shake like I never before. I try to go out and be happy with whom I am with but my thoughts always go to Brenda.
I love my Daughter and grandkids but without Brenda nothing brings me joy. Everyday is the same, day after day.
I try to go back to work but I can’t. I just don’t have the drive I had before. So I look for something different to do but that’s no working so well. I feel that my life is on hold and will never go anywhere.
I miss you Brenda so much that I will never move on.

Wishes of happiness..(Happy Birthday Ha!!)


One week later and my birthday is here.
Everyone greets me with wishes of happiness.
I don’t feel very happy as a matter of fact I would of liked to sleep the day away.
Maybe get drunk and not wake up till the day I die.
I can’t see me living without you for the rest of my life.
You were what I lived for.

My life, my everything.
My happiness was through you eyes.
You were bigger than life itself.
You were my soul.
The love of my life.

I roam the lonely halls every night.
I have to drink myself to sleep to rest every night.
I sit and look at your picture. Looking into your eyes.
Eyes that were so full of life now are dim.

I will never see your bright eyes again or hear your laugh.
If only you knew how you touched my life and others.
This spot you filled will never be taken by anyone.

This will be the last artical I write about my beloved wife Brenda for a while. I have said everything I can say about her and the love we knew.

My Bright Eyes



The days grow longer.
The nights grow emptier.
My heart grows sadder not for me but for our grandchildren.
I’m afraid they will forget you especially our 18 month old.
They will never hear your laughter or see you kind smiling face again.
You will no longer be there to give them their macaroni and cheese.
Change the 18-month-old diapers.
Be there when our 3-year old was toilet trained which you helped start.
All these things that the kids will miss.

The things that you could teach them.
The time you took to read to them on the couch.
The laughter you spread to all around you.

We will all miss your innocent humor.
The way you made everyone feel good about themselves

I will miss all this plus more.
The time we spent together alone, just laughing and fooling around.
I will miss every night, kissing and hugging you good night.
You sitting at the computer playing games while I would tickle you.
Looking in your bright eyes and seeing your perfect soul.
I will miss a lot in life.
My life will never be the same.
I will be a lonely soul who will wonder through life for as long as I live.

It was supposed to be a Happy Birthday Brenda


\
Today was the day you were born instead you not here.
We were supposed to celebrate instead I am mourning your death.
March was the month of our birth now I will remember it for your death.
This was a day for laughter and gifts and looking forward to next year. All that has ended with your death.

There will be no more laughter.
No happiness.
No Hope.
Just sadness and despair.
Loneliness and want for the old days when you were here.

I will long for your laugh and the warmth of your arms around me.
I will never be able to look into your eyes again and see the warmth there.
Nothing will every be the same.
I miss so, the hurt unbearable.


Happy birthday my love where ever you are.

bite-by-bite I'm losing you


Slowly, bite-by-bite the fiscal things are leaving.
I feel that I am losing you all over again.
But to move on I’m told this must happen.

All that that’s leaving can never take the memories of you away.
That’s all I have left. Sometimes it’s not enough and the hurt and loneliness becomes to over bearing.
For the rest of my life this is what I have to look forward to for no one will every replace you.
You were my dream come true and now that dream has ended.
My life once again will be lonely. This time I will never dream again.
Our love was once in a lifetime.
A love that will last through out time and eternity.

You were a special woman.
A woman like no other.
A woman that no other could live up to.

Little did you know how much you were love, not just by me but by everyone who knows you.
You were a unique person.
One of a kind.

You made everyone happy and feel good about themselves. That takes a special takes a special person.
You were special in many ways. I will morn you for the rest of my life.
I will love you for every.

Letter to Brenda my beloved wife





















When I told you that you had spoiled me and that no other woman could take your place, it was the truth. No one could ever make me feel the way you did!

No one could make me laugh the way you did.
No one could love me like you.
No one could fill my life with such joy.
No one could accept me with all my faults.

I could never love anyone as I loved you.
You were my soul mate.
My one and only extra special love.
A love you find once in a lifetime.
A love most people only could hope to find.
A true romance.
Two people becoming one.

As the days grow longer since your passing, my life grows sadder.
Everyday I miss your more and more.
Ever night I cry myself to sleep.
I curse every morning that I awake.
My life is empty with no joy and nothing to look forward to.

I have a lot of friends and family around me but it doesn’t mean anything without you by my side.
You were my happiness my reason for living.
My dreams die with you.
My hopes for the future were with you.
Everything I did was for you, now they mean nothing.

Someone asked me who am I?
I couldn’t answer that question because I am nothing without you.
I have no Identity.
I miss and will always love you till the day I die.

Love Herb

Photo of Obama With Turban Causes Stir
By JIM KUHNHENN,
AP
Posted: 2008-02-25 21:58:08
Filed Under: Elections News, Barack Obama
WASHINGTON (Feb. 25) - A photograph circulating on the Internet of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama dressed in traditional local garments during a visit to Kenya in 2006 is causing a dustup in the presidential campaign over what constitutes a smear.
American PoliticiansIn Traditional Garb
1 of 9
In a controversy over what may or may not be a smear tactic, campaign managers for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are arguing over a photo of the Illinois senator that's making the Internet rounds. The picture of Obama, above, shows him wearing traditional garments in Wajir, Kenya, during his trip to his father's homeland in 2006.
The Associated Press photograph portrays Obama wearing a white turban and a wraparound white robe presented to him by elders in Wajir, in northeastern Kenya. Obama's estranged late father was Kenyan and Obama visited the country in 2006, attracting thousands of well-wishers.The gossip and news Web site The Drudge Report posted the photograph Monday and said it was being circulated by "Clinton staffers" and quoted an e-mail from an unidentified campaign aide. Drudge did not include proof of the e-mail in the report."I just want to make it very clear that we were not aware of it, the campaign didn't sanction it and don't know anything about it," Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said in a teleconference with reporters. "None of us have seen the e-mail in question. If anybody has independent reporting that they've done on it I would welcome it."

eclipse on my life


There is an eclipse on my life that may never show the sun again.
There is an ach in my hart that will never mend.
There is emptiness in my soul that will never be filled.
A sadness has fallen over me that will never go away.

Everyday I awake I feel cheated out of happiness.
Everyday my eyes open I curse the light.
Every time I see a happy couple I resent their happiness.

Since you have passed away I am lost and lonely even though there are many people around me.
You were my soul, my reason for living.
Now I face everyday without you.
I don’t know how I can go on.

We had a love that will never be again.
A marriage that was rare and unique.
There is no one on earth that could ever fill your shoes.

Brenda my lovely Brenda I will miss you till the day I die.
I will never forget your face, your laugh and your smile.
You are a part of me that will never die.

Your soul mate herb.


Brenda G Gomnick wife, mother and fantastic Grandmother you are greatly missed already and your memory will live on forever.

How Brenda's death effect everyone



I have spoken about my pain in Brenda’s death. There are many others that are going through withdrawal from Brenda’s passing.

I wonder if their pain is deeper than mine?

Her sister who has been close to her all her life. She and I talk a lot about Brenda but she holds back the tears and some times the anger she feels inside. I would like to help her but don’t know how. I can’t help myself.

Harve, my brother in-law, who does not show any emotions since her death but I know that he is hurting also. He had a special relationship with Brenda.

Her nieces who Brenda would talk with like a friend. They would tell her things they didn’t tell their mother.

My mother who looked at Brenda as a daughter. They had a real close bond. Brenda could get away with things that my sister couldn’t.

My sister who truly loved Brenda as a sister. When they got together the house would be in an uproar.

My daughter who loved Brenda like a mother. She was her best friend. Brenda taught her all about makeup and jewelry, all the girly things that her husband wanted her to do.

Our son in-law. They had a special bond also. He would call her almost every night and talk to her, especially when her favorite shows were on but she didn’t mind. Brenda was the light that shined for all of us. Now that light is no longer and I can’t carry that torch. She was a person that made everyone happy to be with. She is missing and revered by everyone. I would like to carry on her legacy but I am not even close to the person that she was. I will love you forever. You will always be in my heart and the spot where my soul was. Rest in Peace Brenda G Gominck Beloved Wife , Mother, Grand Mother (G-G), Aunt, Sister, Mother in-law, Sister In-law.


I would like to keep Brenda’s name alive so I have supplied several links below for anyone that would like to help Children in need. Please donate it in The Name Brenda G Gomnick. I have also placed two Links for stem cell research in the name of my cousin Allen Staller

Valentines Day




Valentines day will be here soon. It’s the day that all lovers enjoy. It’s one day a year that is dedicated to love between each other.
This year for us, Brenda and I will be no longer. It will become a day just like ever other, filled with pain and sorrow.
A broken hart will replace this year cupid’s arrow. My soul will be lost this year.
This year will be the start of many years to come of hart ack and loneliness. For my one and only true love has pass away and left me an empty body without a soul or happiness.

Many of my friends and family have told me that it will get easier, but not better in time. I cannot see me ever forgetting the love we had together. I will never love anyone the way I loved Brenda. As I said before she was my hart and soul. She came into my life and showed me how to live, love and be happy.

We had a fairytale love affair. She made me fall in love with her at a time in my life where I wasn’t looking to fall in love with anyone.
She won me, my family, my daughter over. We all fell deeply in love with her. And because of Brenda we all gained her family. Even in her death she has brought all of her friends together.

I have gained a lot being apart of her life. All I have left is her memories but that’s not enough for me. I sit up at night and look at her picture and cry, knowing that I will never hear her giggle again or hold in my arms and kiss her on the neck. I will never smell her perfume or have the excitement of buying her presents or surprising her with a diner for just us two.

My Valentines Day or any other day will never be happy.
I have supplied several links below for anyone that would like to help Children in need. Please donate it in The Name Brenda G Gomnick. I would like to keep her name alive well after I’m gone.

Why did you have to go?




It’s a month since you have passed away.
A month of tears.
Of hartack and shock.
I miss you so much and can’t see my life without you.

No more laughter.
No more smiles.
No more holding you in my arms, feeling your warmth and comfort.

My life and the life’s of all our family and friends will be empty without you.
You never realized how much you meant to all of us.
You were our treasure.
My happiness forever. That’s the way it was suppose to be.
I shall never enjoy happiness like ours again!

I walk through the living with the thoughts of being with you.
Life has no meaning anymore.

You were my meaning. Now our home has become just a house.
Cold and empty with no warmth, no life in it.
I look at the picture on the wall and the door expecting you to walk through it but you never come.

Everyone tells it will get easier but every day seems to get harder and harder.
I miss your giggle I miss your smile. I miss everything about you my love.

Why did you have to go?


Dedicated to Brenda G Gomnick

Love -unexpected twist


To all of you who walk in my shoes.
I fell your pain. I know how it is to have your hart ripped out.

All the old saying about always kiss your lover, never go to sleep mad, kiss your lover goodbye and many others.
They are all true.

I just lost my lover and I hope I told her that I loved her before she passed away. You can never take it for granted that they will always be there. I did and my wife Brenda Gomnick pass away after coming out of a minor surgery. She was laughing while she got into the bed again. After a shot of morphine she went to sleep never to get up again. She died from two major strokes.

I love you Brenda and always will. You were and still are my one and only lover, my soul mate.

Hold your mate tight as you greet them. Tell them that you love them with all your hart and never let them go. Show them how much everyday your together. Take nothing for granted life can be cruel and short. Just as you think everything is ok it could take an unexpected twist.


I thank you for you love Brenda and will miss your worm arms around me.

Forever Yours Herb

Goodbye My Love

I have taken many bad roads in my life,
Made decision that came back and bite me in the ass.
I had a life I felt that had no meaning.
Then I met my future wife.
She came into my life when I didn’t want a relationship with a woman in any way shape or form. She was my dance partner and that’s all she would be. Little did I know she would creep inside my hart and turn my life and world around.
I tried so hard to scare her away but she stood by even when I got sick and went into the hospital three months into our relationship.

I prayed to God for women who would just love me for me. I got much more than I asked for. She was a woman that stood above all woman. She became my best friend.
Brenda would finally make me feel wanted, fell like a real man. I love her with all my hart and soul and will never love like this again. For there is only one Brenda in the world for me.
Along with her beauty, (which she never really realized), she was smart, funny and lite up the room with her charm.
Brenda was child like in a way, for you never know what she was about to say. The funniest thing is that she never knew either.
I will miss kissing her on her neck while she laying across the sofa reading or watching TV. I will miss her giggle, her laugh.
Brenda you have touched my life in a way that no one ever could.
I will mourn for you for the rest of my life. A life that will be lonely and bare without you. I will never laugh again like I laughed with you.

Goodbye my love, you were and will always be my hart and soul

Dedicated to Brenda G Gomnick (wife, grandmother and Mother)
