Cae

Hoping I can find someone to car pool with.  I live in st.st.johnsbury vt.  Not comfortable driving in areas like Manchester,  or concord new Hampshire.  Some possible meeting spots would be Plymouth nh, white river  jct. Vt. West lebanon nh

Village by the sea is an awesome place. If more people are available for different weekend, rescheduling is a good idea. 

This weekend is fathers day, and probably lots of people are going to graduations. Maybe that's why not many can go

Those 2 town's are about as far from me as wells is. (2 & 3/4hours.)

 Just in an opposite directions. 

Where are others from? I live in saint johnsbury vt. Which is like 1 hour from white river jct. Vt,    1 3/4 from concord nh. 1 & 1/2 from Burlington vt.

Anyone go near any of them spots?

Hoping to go, I'm about 3 hours away, in vermont.  Wouldn't be comfortable driving there tho. Car pool anyone?  

I would be more apt to shop then kayak. 

What about a whale watch?

A trio of songs by Diamond Rio:

 

"I Believe" -

 

"One More Day" -

- This one played on a loop in my head for days between when E died and his funeral service.

 

"You're Gone" -

I love "one more day"

This one really gets me...my husband was building an elaborate tree house for an artstudio.  His...."castle in the sky"

Yes....love this. I was even gonna post it.

Hi, introducing myself. I'm 53, my husband's life was taken by an impatient driver, Sept 10th, 2017. He was 55.

He went to work that morning at 6am. Almost 5 hours later, while he was working near the gas pumps at the truck stop he worked at (for 15 and a half years) He was killed.

Three things  happened to make the driver aggrevated.  After the third thing, He pulled away from the pump he was at, at high speed. They determined  that from the short distance of one  set of pumps to the other, he excelerated to 15 miles an hour. 

My husband was working near the next set of pumps. he ran right over my husband  who was stooped down doing something.  There where buckets  and  cones around him to let people know he was there.  Also witnesses say the guy had to sit and wait near where my husband was working for a few minutes before he could get in the gas line.

  It took just over a year to charge him. 1 year, and 10 days.

Of course he pleaded not guilty . Now we have to wait till this October  for him to go to trial.

Widda is precious to me just now.  I re-coupled 2 1/2 years ago.  Around the end of September we learned that NG has stage IV cancer.  She is fighting but the prognosis is not good.  I'd give up bacon sooner than I'd give up WIDDA.

Oh my God,  that's terrible.  Sorry to hear that.

I don't foresee my self changing mine.

I want to keep that connection to him.

Anyone from nh, vt or Maine still interested in gatherings?

I'm not quite as young as you, leah, but I do live in vermont.

I'm 53, and lost my husband  September  of 2017. Let  me know if your interested in talking.

tonight is the first night I noticed  the widowbago meetings. When you get together, is it just for a  hours? Or a whole weekend event? And how often do u get together?

Anyone in Vermont or New Hampshire ?

I'm trying to decide if I should change my rings to my right hand. I started a new job recently. I think at Some point someone could ask something like..how long have you been married? Or... what does your husband do for work? ...just as a conversation starter. Actually the other day someone said...."your rings are beatiful." Thankfully she didnt ask any questions.  

I'm 52, and my husband was killed by an negligent driver.  I think if someone were to ask my about him, it would be an awkward moment for both of us. 

My thoughts are if they see the rings on right hand, they will know the situation,  and not ask.

The flip tho, is, in not sure if I'm ready to take them off. I'm curious when others stopped wearing theirs?

Any thoughts on how long animals remember  their owners  after they die? 

 after a year, I wonder if they remember him, and  if they wonder why he just stopped coming home

Coming home from work  to an empty house really sucks. He started work earlier in morning then I did, so also got home first.

Driving toward the dark house, knowing no one is there...

My husband and I didn't have children together, but from previous marriages, he has 2 sons, and I have 2 daughter's.  

One stepsons  fiance is pregnant now. Due in February.  My husband died a little over a year ago. 

I'm not quite sure what my role as...'widowed step grammie'  will be.  I'm interested to see how much time I will end  up spending with my husband's grand child.
