HAPPY ANNIVERSARY--Difficult to Celebrate
I am finding it very difficult today to focus. My heart is oh so heavy today, missing John so badly. It's is funny how the days vary. Most days I am doing great, but today is the second anniversary without John. My family and friends were all saying the second one won't hurt as bad as the first...well, it feels just as bad to me. Yes, I am dating and attempting to carry on with this so called life...but my heart and soul is forever with John. That is where I would like to be...I feel so…See More
manni replied to Supa Dupa Fresh's discussion For those who have dated... how did you know when you were ready?
"Friends and family did encourage me to get out of the house and meet people. I didn't feel ready for that yet. I mean it had been so long since I had dated that I wasnt even sure where to start or how to talk to guys. So I went online. I…"

"Hi manni. You might also want to click on "dating" over on the right-hand side of the page under "HOT TOPICS' and see if some of those discussions help you, too. Although your remaining friend sounds pretty nice."

Continue Love in the Rain

The garden loves the rain
and, yes, this is love.
But the love I want for you
--the love I want to give you--
is the love the rain gives the garden.
Loving is giving freedom.

I read this and just wanted to share it with all of you.
Your Smile

Your Smile
Though your smile is gone forever,
and your hand I cannot touch,
I still have many memories of the one I loved so much.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.
Sadly missed, but never forgotten.
Being Strong

Decided to go visit family this past weekend after having a really rough week. I needed to seek comfort, but when I got there I noticed that they needed more comfort. So I shut myself down and built up my walls for I had to be strong for those I love. (Sigh)..it always feels good to be there for everyone, but I never have anyone really there when I desperately need someone. I just wanted to be held this weekend. I have really been missing be held in John's arms. I know if I would have…

Abby said… HI Manni:
I hope you are coping relatively well. Please read my blog on this site titled somethig to the effect "I am beginning my legal journey" or something like that. It is late and I have been working all nite but wanted to make sure you read it. It will let you know where I am in the process legally and while I live in Canada and our systems are different, perhaps you will be able to find the same sort of government body I am starting with. If you have any more questions after you read my blog, please feel free to email. I will definitely keep you posted.Abby

- I'm sad you're here, but I wanted to give you a big virtual hug. I hated when people said "at least you didn't have kids" to me. It was devastating. How are you today?
