I am so glad you now have your new online friends to help when you feel down :) I am so sure he would be so proud of you Rose for quitting smoking who cares about the pounds. Your journal looks very nice by the way. We are shivering up here in MA I hope the weather is beautiful in FL.<br />HugsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718995173309662787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901847648242872428.post-2985366606539599902009-10-16T17:40:58.208-04:002009-10-16T17:40:58.208-04:00Sometimes, even the slightest hint of sunshine dra...Sometimes, even the slightest hint of sunshine draws one out of the darkness.

I think it's human nature to adapt to continue our lives in one form or another. <br /><br />I know a mere three years of journaling has brought me so far. I look back at my writing and see it's led to a book. I'm not the same fearful dependent woman I used to be with my deafness. <br /><br />I'm delighted to chose share this with us.

But it saddened me that you mentioned that you will no longer accept dates.<br /><br /> Although I agree with you (no one will 'shine' above what we had), I do enjoy the company of men (not sleep with them..hahaha) , I like to go out, and I do like being busy. But I understand completely and respect how you feel.<br /><br /> I saw a VERY sad movie over the weekend : "The Boys are Back"-- a true story about a man whose wife died and he ended up raising his 2 boys. I cried my eyes out because, well, basically, that was my story, too. But it does end on a positive note, as I hope my story does, too. Maybe you'll see the movie---let me know.<br /><br /> Meanwhile, let's try to make plans to meet!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DebyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901847648242872428.post-60491618830830435722009-10-12T21:27:17.464-04:002009-10-12T21:27:17.464-04:00I can not even begin to imagine what you have gone...I can not even begin to imagine what you have gone through.

To read what you wrote so many years ago is fascinating and a connection that I am sure warms the heart...even if it is sad too. We're here for you...it is so hard to pick up the pieces but I see your smile coming through!Alicia @ boylerpfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494653464202092752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901847648242872428.post-54297339460693253802009-10-12T19:02:59.061-04:002009-10-12T19:02:59.061-04:00Rose, I still keep a journal in a random way.

Because it's random I often come across something I wrote years ago. <br /><br />I think it's so good to keep those hand written journals. Our Internet journals are so vulnerable. Besides your journal was not only therapy but the bread and wine of a good relationship, to be broken open and sipped every now and then.<br /><br />DBDBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144446186279708019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901847648242872428.post-15649249204579631082009-10-12T18:56:37.246-04:002009-10-12T18:56:37.246-04:00Rose what a beautiful entry.

Folks like you just cause us to love each other more. We now can talk about the fact that one of us will be left. We know it, but do not dwell on it. WE both love you entries!<br /><br />Jack, Sherry will be here later.jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901847648242872428.post-43912033582477269302009-10-12T18:42:16.254-04:002009-10-12T18:42:16.254-04:00It's interesting to look back at journals, isn...It's interesting to look back at journals, isn't it? Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way.<br /><br />Life and love might sneak up on you and catch you unawares. You're obviously such a lovely woman, both on the outside and the inside, and there may come a day when someone catches your eye.

Mad at my DDH for leaving me in this mess and mad because I had to do things I never wanted to. It took awhile and that part changed to just missing him. I don't know that we are ever supposed to stop. At this point in my life I'm just so thankful I did have him as part of my life and take it day by day. It's the only way I can handle it all.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901847648242872428.post-2912916467708089812009-10-12T15:48:18.812-04:002009-10-12T15:48:18.812-04:00Thanks for this post,Oh how I can relate.Thanks for this post,Oh how I can relate.garnett109https://www.blogger.com/profile/15866927859779352957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901847648242872428.post-61225338028340945242009-10-12T14:11:31.684-04:002009-10-12T14:11:31.684-04:00aww so sad.
