Once a week, after Mass every Sunday until we moved a thousand miles south in 2009. I would nod at a friend who lost his wife suddenly a few months before Laurie as he drove by. Sundays seemed to be the day for widowers??? .

yep

Thymoma, an extremely rare cancer. Almost all of Laurie's doctors had only seen it in text books. Lucky her. Cancer sucks!

Today would (should) have been our 35th wedding anniversary.

Not to this degree, but I have a friend who lost both her parents in the last few years and is taking it very hard too. It is difficult to understand why a grown woman would be like that??? Both my parents are gone too. People get old and die. ???

My heart is big enough to love another and still love my late wife. Unfortunately, there are many not widowed that don't understand this.

(((bear hugs))) SB.

Nice work. I need more ink. 8)

I lost some but gained some. A guy who I barely knew before Laurie died, put in a new heating unit at our house in NJ for free. I have other similar stories too. Old friends disappeared and new friends took their place. Such is life.

true What to do with the other 23 hours and 45 mins of the day?

(((bear hugs))) Our 35th will be soon. We almost made it to 25.

I changed my mind. I just need a hug.

lol me too. :-X

I'm not sure if anything short of locking a person up in a padded cell can "prevent" suicide? However, medication can help with the dark stranger.

I want to get drunk and go skinny dipping with Joe.

I'm so sorry, RWS. Don't give up on your boy. My son 27 year old has never been officially diagnosed but I am sure he has Aspergers. He flunked out of college twice and the police academy once because of it. He works now in the garden center of a huge home improvement place and is doing great. I will get him official diagnosed even though he is adult just because maybe there is some kind of help out there for him. It is tough. My son goes to work and then spends all his free time playing video games. The concept of friendship or maintaining friendships is foreign to him. I am fearful of his future. Hopefully, my girls will let him live in their basement. :-\

I'm back.

Two-hand dumbbell clean and press, laterals, and clean-grip deads.

I find doing laundry very zen.

I don't take orders well so would tell him "fuck off" but that is me.

It gets worst. :

I have not attended any meetups yet but I will soon. Any age welcomed. They are very active.

Sex and passion are very important to me. I could not be with someone long term who did not rock my world. I had that with Laurie and I would want that with a chapter two.
