Yes and in the rain too. 20 straight days of rain so far.

I hope you get to enjoy your down time Adley!!

I hear you NT

Hey Fellow Canadian Wids, Happy 150th Birthday Canada!! Enjoy this little ditty by Chris Hatfield and his brother! Now if it would just stop raining LOL

Mine was James Gordon but he was called Gord. When I teased him I called him Jimmy. Nobody wants to talk about him anymore and that makes me real sad.

I was looking back and came across this post and I thought I'd revive it. Good post Hachi, glad you brought it over from the old board! I feel like I'm finally here and that's a good thing.

Yes Bunny so true. My own siblings won't even talk about him. I think they are afraid it will make me sad. I have told some of them I want to talk about him but they still won't. Weird if you ask me. Metv, my 2 stepkids like to talk about their Dad but only about the fun stuff he/we did. Maybe it's still too painful for them to talk about when he got sick. They are still young being in their 20's.

Awe Maureen, these are all huge changes. Thanks for sharing it with us. I hope you find your next career soon! My changes are not as big but making them has been hard to accept as well. I know living here is not good for me and have to make that move. I am so close and keep pulling back. Safe journey to the east when it happens for you! Hugs to you!

So sorry this is happening to your boys Rooshi. Great advice FW. The ones that stuck it out with them are indeed very special and are more family than the blood ties! I too am at a loss as to why people are thoughtless and I'm just going to say it.... Stupid. Hugs.

Mine too Metv. Unfortunately I just haven't met the one to find out how it would feel to be polyamorous! lol

Yes lws we do get it. We're all here for each other! Sorry you had to find us and glad that you did. Hugs!

Still here too Hunter. Good to hear from you!! Sorry to hear about your friend.

For some reason my post didn't work yesterday so I'll try it again. I too think that getting male perspective is valuable as well. Unfortunately, Portside's post from early stated this "Peeing in the corners to mark out territory and boundaries will only work if you include him...". I find this kind of analogy totally unnecessary and insulting. There is always a better way to express oneself without the denigrating comments.

Yes, I hear you. There are just too many around like that. Vent away kjs1989!!! Evenually I have just gotten tired of calling people out. So tired of it all. Hugs!!

Ha, I'd ask him when is he going to call someone to come get the piles and let him pay. I bet he will if you ask. Try it, the worst he could say is no then you could let him know he can come collect his branches then. Bet it won't come to that. Good luck!

Plain walls painted nicely. Swimming in a pool or in a lake?

"And the emptiness echos in a sacred part of my soul that will forever and always belong to Craig." Wow such a true statement and mine will always belong to Gord. My Gord never did like to make a big deal of Father's Day so he went on a fishing weekend with his buddies. That was his gift. We always had a nice supper when he got home. Gentle hugs to all my wids.

66, I want to live your life!!! Since I'm only at 4 yrs.....hey, you just never know Wow, sounds like you raised some terrific kids!! "Go do you Mom" I love it!!

SL I'm so sorry you're having a rough go of it. Can you find something for you and your son to do that is enjoyable and relaxing? I can't imagine how tough it would be to raise a child in widowhood but pat yourself on the back, you're doing it! Hugs to you

One day at a time Mac. Try to stay focused in the now instead to the future. I remember it being inconcevable for me to go there. I had enough pain to deal with in the present. Some days it was one hour/ one minute at a time. Remember to breathe when you feel overcome with the grief and drink lots of water to stay hydrated because crying is dehydrating. Small victories is so right. Hang in there! Hugs to you.

Hey Fellow Wids. I am just over 4 yrs out and I have found that there is so little of my thoughts and feeling about this widowhood journey that I share with others in my life. I find I am much more tolerant of insensitive behaviour because I know they just don't get it. Why would they? Plus, I'm not interested in hearing the unsolicited opinions from the unknown that think they know what they are talking about. I mostly come here because you just get me. How do you deal with it?

Congratulations daysofelijah. Thanks for the update and best wishes to you and your new to be blended family.

Oh yes!! Certainly resonated with me. Here is another one that is so close to my heart. Garry Moore, Nothing's the same without you.

You are so right JG, thankfully it passes quickly and doesn't bring us to our knees the way it used to. Brighter days for all of us tomorrow. Hugs

You too TS. Not sure what going on with us. This time at 4 yrs, just know you are not alone. I wonder if it feels worse because maybe we think it shouldn't still be happening. I wish I had ATJ's eloquent words for you but I don't. Let it out, feel it and may tomorrow bring a smoother path for you. Gentle hugs to you.
