I went to the Doctor's office today and got an antibiotic for a throat, ear and chest infection. My immunity must be compromised. My sister, Betty, went with me. I slept most of the afternoon. I am breathing a little better now.
For the first time, I wanted share a funny tidbit with Don and could not. It seems so strange as is a part of me is missing. I have heard that phrase before but now know the depth of that part of the loss: My Life's Companion. Lover, Jokester and sounding board.
I am sure you are getting bored reading of my day to day life. I don't know how soon it is appropriate to close this site out, but it has been a wonderful cathartic.
I love you, my friends. I can feel yours and Jehovah's love as I struggle to set up a new routine for my life. Don was a strong force in my life and, while he didn't make all the decisions as to our direction, he and I planned together.
Now, just call me the Lone Planner without a horse called Trigger. Oh, My, did I date myself?
With love, Barb
For the record....I think that you should keep the blog up as long as you want....Maybe even forever....I love you and I will see you tomorrow =)

Dear Sister Baty,
ReplyDeleteI second Larissa's comment I also think you should blogg as long as you want!!!
What you are doing right now is grieving and if this is helping you to feel better, then please continue. We all love you and want you to heal as best as you can with the loss of "the love of your life".
I think the best way all of us can honor Don's memory is to comfort his beloved wife and help her cope with her loss.
Soooooo blogg on!!!! I will keep checking in as long as the site is up.
Love,
Carol Lardie (smiles)
