putting it into words Mood
Wednesday, August 20, 2008

How about this- an 80 something year old widow said "it" in a way I totally get.  

My sister's boss' wife died, suddenly.  He was at a party recently, talking to Ms. 80-Something widow, lost her husband decades ago, who said to him,  "It never gets Better.  You just get Better at It." 

 

WOW.  She's hit the nail on the head.  I totally agree, that's it exactly.  And I know, I can't compare just shy of three years with a man I would have married in a heartbeat, I would have followed him anywhere without hesitation, I know that's nothing compared with these marriages of decades.  And I've only been without him a year-not decades.  

 But THAT'S IT:  "It never gets Better, but you get better at It."

 Applause, applause, applause.  Way to put into words what we've tried to explain.
