Thank You for the kind words. I love city-data and this board is beautiful. I am sorry for everyone on here who has lost someone they love. It is nice to see such love and concern. I will be back to this board.
I can identify with the leaking tears. I have them often. I remember such wonderful times with my wife. They never fail to make me smile but invariably, the tears follow because those good times can never be repeated or added to. It's heart-wrenching!
Heart wrenching. Ain't it just. I often think I have nothing left of my heart to be tortured so. But the tears still come so I reckon I must. I like to hold that my heart went with her. She owned it completely. And I gave it willingly. As she did with me. When a y friends see me in my misty state and tell me to toughen up my middle finger comes up as a reflex response. My grief and pain are mine, and I'll manage it as I see fit.
Oddly, it's her small circle of friends who understand me best. Not my own. They've been wonderful, and truly the do know what I'm going through. As has my son. But I raised him right. He knows that being strong and being a man doesn't mean you have to turn off pain like this. I wish you well Curmudgeon. And don't be one bit ashamed of those tears. Love like that deserves them.
Thank you Curmudgeon for sharing the link. My grief, love, memories, joy, sadness weaves in and out of my heart every day for the son I lost. There is no time limit. My heart and prayers go out to you for the loss of your wife.
I am sorry for your loss Curmudgeon, I remember you from the retirement forum and "usually" enjoyed your comments. Again, I offer my deepest sympathy.
