Re: Kabu

Thank you, my friend. As a nurse and a medic, I learned very early in my life that there is absolutely no guarantee that you will be here tomorrow or even in the next ten minutes. You don't know the day or time that you take your final bow and be gone, but you will eventually take that bow.

To that thought, Judy and I lived our life the way we wanted, no matter what might happen. We never parted or spoke without our 'three words' - 'I love you.' It's the same with Lisa. She worked CCU, ICU, and then the ER. You work there and soon, you know the game's outcome. No one wins forever. Lisa and I spend as much time as possible together every day.

Right now, I am in my writing office and she is about ten feet down the hall in her office. I make it a habit to get up and walk around every forty-five minutes or so, and every time I do, I give her a hug and a kiss. She does the same. We know this game. Some don't understand our enthusiasm to be this close at 'our age,' but we don't care. As long as I have this woman to be with me, my life is worth the living.

I wish you the best, dear lady. Lisa just stopped in and asked that I say 'Hi there!' She is such a sweetheart and I am lucky.

I am browsing around Blogit to see what I have missed the last few days. I feel as though I was led to read this post. As you know I wish you and Lisa all the happiness that there is. When I came here to Canada, Wiley and I were like kids at Christmas. Just loving each other. He had been so alone well so had I actually. Every minute was happy. The time was too short but I treasure every moment. No one has the right to criticise what you may share or not. It is your marriage your love your right to be happy.

Re: adnohr

Thank you. I would have never ever respond to that question if it had occurred on FB or some other 'social media' platform. Here? It was explaining something to friends. There was and is a reason, but there have been a lot of new readers in and out of here in the past three years.

In a post tonight, I talked about my friend from Florida calling me today. I was telling her that I was horrified at the way people acted and reacted to my loss and she told me, 'We must learn to forgive these people. Holding onto that anger causes even more pain.' She was right and I knew that she was right. I was just angry at being left alone to suffer.

And as to Lisa, all I can say is 'Thank you, God! I needed her so very badly when you sent her to me.'

I treat her with all the love and respect that I can muster.

Thanks for your post.
V

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I can't see how that was anybody's business but your own. I also found that you talked often about the pain you endured when losing Judy. What is really fun to read is how happy you are now!! Go Lisa!!
