HOPEFUL HEARTS...LIVING AGAIN AFTER THE LOSS Community Group
We are a group of people who have grieved the loss of a spouse, partner, or lover and are searching for a life without our mate. Some looking for their own identity as an individual or finding a life for themself. Some looking for companionship or a serious relationship with someone new. And some just feeling lost and unsure. We offer encouragement, support and virtual...
I can't believe I am saying this but the nerves are just as bad as when I was 18 and got married on Friday the 13th. It was a wonderful marraige of 32 years so I don't know what I am so nervous about other than the unknown. I didn't sleep a wink last night. But to truly find happiness you have to be willing to take the leap of faith as we all did so many years ago. I am told it will be different but that is ok, there is nothing wrong with being different. We won't have kids of our own but we will have the love and support of so many. Pat will become a Step grandpa today, you should have seen the look on his face when I told him. He is 56 but his youngest daughter is 13 and he will now have an 8 yr. old granddaughter and a 6 yr. old grandson that dearly love him. Chad called last night and told me he was happy for me but he wouldn't be coming as he is not ready to move on. He asked us not to hold it against him that he loves and supports us he is just not ready. I told him I loved him no matter what and I would never hold it against him and he said he hopes Pat will like him, I told him he will love you and he seemed excited. Both my girls will be there and my grandkids will be the only other two in the wedding party as they were so excited and felt we needed a ring barrier and a Jr. Bridesmaid as she wanted a boquet and not a basket and he wanted a pillow. They even chose what they are wearing and how their hair will be done, they are so grown up already. Well it is an 80 percent chance of rain tonight and the wedding is suppose to be outdoors so we shall see. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we start our new journey. Pictures to follow in a few weeks when we get back from our trip. Oh yes I almost forgot we are going to Gulf Shores Alabama and my oldest and her 2 kids will be meeting us on Wednesday. How many men do you know would allow your kids and grandkids on their honeymoon? LOL Well take care and I wish each and everyone of you to find true happiness. Remember it all starts with taking a chance on someone new. Andree'
I wish you all the happiness in the world. Rain is supposed to be good luck, so don't sweat the small stuff. Enjoy your day, and store up all the memories you can. Even things that don't go right, will be stories for later. Breathe,
Hugs,

When Sue and I got married by boys stood with me as best men and Sue's daughter as a bridesmaid, all the grandkids had parts too!
Make sure to save some cake for Vicki...
