My favorite quote is:
What lies behind us and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
Emerson
I have two wonderful sons who are 19 years apart in age. I figured I did such a good job on the first one that I would try it again. I have been dealing with the grief process and taking one day at a time for the last couple of years. My sweet daddy was diagnosed with cancer of the vocal chord and we lost him Thanksgiving evening 2007. My loving husband was diagnosed with stomach cancer in Oct. of 2007 and I lost him July 27, 2008. They were the strongest most caring men I have ever known and I miss them both so very much. I know their spirits are with me always helping me do whatever it is I have to do. I feel their love with me always.
I have really terrific friends who are there for me so I am an extremely lucky person. I have met a lot of wonderful people on NOTH who have seen me through some dark times as well.
UPDATE: been gone for a bit but I missed everyone so
Hello again 💜
In my slide show there are three pictures in succession of my hubby and me sitting on my parents couch. They were taken the night we took our last family photo a week before Thanksgiving 2007. He had just been diagnosed a couple weeks earlier. My sister had just done my hair and make up and I came in to sit next to hubby. Picture number one is me telling him to be nice. I didn't wear makeup very often and I thought sissy had applied it rather heavily. Picture number two was taken as my sister asked him if I looked pretty. Picture number three was him turning to me and saying, "She is always beautiful to me." Three pictures that tell the story of our wonderful relationship.
