Karen (funnybne) said… Thank You so much for your kind words and understanding. It sounds like our husbands had alot in common. I agree with you I miss his grumpy days too. I miss everything about him. I hate having to call for someone to reapir something that I know Jim could fix somehow, but it is what it is I guess. Thanks again and thank you for the friend request, I need as many understanding friends as I can find.

Kathy said… - Hi. I lost my husband suddenly on August 16, 2012 to a massive heart attack. We would have been married 35 years on February 10th. We had so many plans that we put on hold as my mom had lung cancer. Lost her on October 15th. I am in the process of selling her house in NJ. My daughter is living there now but is moving closer to me in Nc in June. Life will never be the same. I cry everyday. Oh how I miss John and mom.

Dusty said… feelinglonely..........boy that's a perfect name. Lonely discribes our situation perfectly, Thank you for your kind words and I'm sorry for your loss as well. It's only been a year for me but, a totally lost one. I'm having trouble navagating around on this site. I hope to figure it out because I think it might help to "talk" to others that understand.

Oh girl - I know what you mean. Somedays it still is so hard to wrap my head and heart around the fact that Mark's been gone almost 2 1/2 years......how is that possible ??? I miss him and love him more everyday.
I just miss our life........the life that we had, and the future that we planned.....and I don't think that will ever go away.
I'm glad you found us here.............it's helped me and I hope that you'll come here often. Hugs to you.
