This Weekend
Thank you thank you to Widowed Village for being here for me. Thank you very much for the wonderful new friends I've made during Arnie's party this past weekend and for giving me hope for a new future--a new me. I learned that I can survive, just one day at a time, with the inner strength I have to learn to tap into. I learned that there are people in this world who care, who know what exactly what I am going through.
I am not alone and I SHOULDN'T be alone. I should NOT be shy about asking for help. I should NOT feel guilt when I laugh and have a good time. John would want me happy---HELL I WANT to be happy. I will be a woman again, to feel sexy with my new Me. Desirable? Maybe. ;) But it will all take time. One step at a time.

Hi Emy.... I agree with Fred, your post should be the "proclamation" for everyone. It was great meeting you and everyone else, I really can't put into words how much it meant to me to meet everyone and I'm so proud of myself for going. We'll meet again when you get to Florida. Hugs, you will do well!
