I love when I have my granddaughters, they are the biggest distraction around. Went to home depot today for the first time by myself, cried so hard when I walked in that I almost left, but I hung in there. I had two good things happen this week and I immediately thought about sharing with Tom and it kind of brought me down. We just have to keep cha cha ing along....lol

I'm sorry about your anniversary today Kat, our 23rd anniversary was May 27th and it just about destroyed me. I spent the day looking through pictures which made me worse and better at the same time. You will really be glad you joined here, found this site 3 weeks after Tom died and it really saved my life. Hugs

There are many caring people here and, since we're all going through so much of the same thing, everyone understands. That, in itself, is a nice feeling. Take care and I wish you all the best. Lynne
