I have been a widow since June 2005. My beloved Carl and I were married for 26 years before he succumbed to illness. Carl and I were only able to have one child, Erin, who recently turned 29. Erin (and husband Mike) have blessed me with two grandsons, Kane Carlo who turned 3 last June and Andrew Cole who turned 1 last May. Kane was born two weeks before my husband died and so I am grateful that Carl was able to see our first grandchild before he died. Because my daughter did not want me to live alone after the passing of her father, she (along with family) moved back home. With the addition of Andrew, my house is now full of life and laughter. I am so lucky to have two beautiful grandsons living under my roof, especially because they bring such joy to my life despite my grief over the loss of my husband.
