I am so very sorry for your loss of Ken. My Pete died 1/1/2007 after a horrible work accident that left him crippled at home for almost 9 months. I just want to tell you, you were a marvelous wife to the end, and you needed to finish that essay that night. It took me a long time to accept New Year's Day and all it's so-called promises, when all but me were complete and content. I never come to this site really anymore, but tonight I felt I owed it to Peter. I am glad I did. Marian

Jesus, Euf. You can still bring me to my knees with what you write and now it is finally a good thing. Those bloody damn days that we lived through. xoxo Marian

Dear, dear, dearest ATJ, I typed out a lenghy resonse, tried to post and got " an error has occurred" Once again, so lovely to see you here. Your lovely posts and images were such a burst, a jolt, of color in those early days of back and white widowhood. I printed so many of your posts on ywbb in those early days and hung them on my fridge. Those frightening, scary days when logging on to ywbb was all that kept me functioning. I had many a comforting moment reading your posts on that fridge on bad days. I have missed you. So glad to hear from you. xo xo Marian

Mike, Mike, Mike… when will you ever…never. You will never change and I respect you for that. But really, sweet Jesus. Did you not have sex just once after your wife died? Not just once? Did you lose your self- respect and respect for the woman? My dearest Peter Pan and I were exclusive for 33 years plus. no other partners. I slept with Mike on our first encounter. I guess I was loose, like Goldie Hawn just said about her and Kurt Russell- oh yeah, those two that aren't married yet after 33 years or more! Well, I guess now is good as ever to announce that Mike and I got married on April 3 and I am deliriously happy and ya just gotta stop with this shit, Mike! Marian oh yes I do not mean to rain on Toosoon and ADP's parade but their getting married was a nudge to me to tie the knot, really!

I was just invited to be prt of this club- does anyone have experience with this group? thanks! Marian

Sorry, this boy has far more issues ging than just the teen thing. You did the right thing. That family is completely dysfunctional and you are better out of the relationship. You are a smart woman in putting yourself and your little guy first. Marian

I was reading through this, thinking jeez, people… When I get a text from my neice by marriage - whom I haven't spoke to in a year "Hey Marian, this is kinda random, but did you end up with a watch that belonged to Velma's father? Aunt Fran was asking about it. No, I didn't "end up" with it. I inherited it from my dead husband. His Mom, Velma gave it to him when he was 19. I used to wind it and clean it. And ten years later this happens? And uh, Fran you could ask me?

""He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong." But Auden was wrong. I thought of this stanza several times this week- the love is still there and will be to the day I die. Peter Michael, my dearest Peter Pan. I am so blessed to have had you alive and so blessed to have you in my head and heart. your Mar.

My last FWB was very similar and we ended up together and then married for 33 years. He was my Peter. I echo Mrs. Dan and Adley. And really, we have been throught the worst emotional fuck up ever with the death of our spouses, I feel.

I am thinking of you and understanding every damn word. xo Marian

Just lovely, Rob. Thinking of you today. xo Marian

"You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you still remember dreaming. That's where I'll always love you. That's where I'll be waiting." Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie Ten years this New Year's 2017 and the dreams have started, my dear Peter. Second star to the right…

Euf, I think of you on a regular basis, read the poems you post occasionally, and think about you and your Jim. Thanks for stopping by .You were a life saver in early dark days. Marian xo

thanks so much, Maureen. He is the youngest in an Irish-Catholic family of seven. He is 7 feet tall and will always be my little brother. I am the eldest of seven- five girls then the two boys. I absolutely adore him.
