    • About Me

      Married for nearly 19 years to my best friend. Met Scott in college. Just moved to our community a few months before diagnosis. Now I am alone in the house we always wanted. Nothing big and special but that is how we are.

      From Cyndi321 Yesterday

      Thanks Susan, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sorry you are spending Thanksgiving alone missing Scott but I am with you on that. I politely declined the invitation for dinner & am going to spend Thanksgiving at home alone missing my Larry. Noone can rush us to get better or be "over it". We'll know when it's time I think.
      I have found a lot of love & support on DS & it makes me feel less alone. You all definately "get it" & it's so nice knowing that friends are never really far away.
      I will be thinking of you this Thanksgiving & hoping you feel Scott's spirit & love all around to comfort you. This is so hard but we will get through it.. hang in there! Love & prayers for stength,
      Cyndi

    • Little Love

      From missmyhero Monday

      Hi Susan,
      I wanted to send you a little love as we watch the days go by and it get closer to a time that the world just does not understand. It seems like every person that I see says "Happy Thanksgiving" as I leave...the grocery store, when I go to pay bills, the gas station attendant, you name it. I just numbly say, yup and walk away...not wanting to tell yet another person why this won't be a Happy Thanksgiving this year and I don't know if I will ever have another happy one as long as I live....which by my estimates seem like too much of forever without the person that made it all worth doing.

      Anyway, hope you are hanging in there.

      Many hugs too...
      -Diana

      My husband and best friend died April 1 after a 17 month fight with braintumors. He was doing well and we were shocked. I am still trying to put together the pieces of my new life without him.
