We are here still here on this earth, and I want to be happy every after for the remainder of my life here but no one taught me how to do it.
And I do not have the tools to do it myself. I can struggle and stumbled and fall and pick my self up but shoot why can't there be a better way? Just my thoughts.

You are right. We all go into marriage, well most of us, thinking that it is forever. I didn't do that. I knew that Joe was sick with a brain tumor when i met and unltimately married him. He was such a wonderful guy and I couldn't help but love him. I had something that few people ever have.....total happieness and the knowledge that within 3, no more than 5 years it would be gone. So we lived ever day as if it was the last and did everything that we could together. We went everywhere together and did all the little things together. But you know I still kept dreaming that things would change and that I would get that fairly tale happily ever after too. I just knew that there was a cure and that if I would take good care of him that we would beat the odds. That didn't happen of course, and it hurt just as much as if I hadn't of known what was coming because instead of the 3 years we thought we were going to get, we got only 18 months. But the journey together made it and makes it all worth while. Even knowing now what I know I would not trade one minute of the time I spent with Joe. IN fact I would have spent a lot more time with him. Our fairy tales might have been cut short, but they were great ones while they lasted.

A-a-a-a-h- The fairy tale. The night I met Gerald he told me he was going to die before me. This was a healthy man, but he said I'd live longer than he. Now, we'd just me, but somehow, we both "knew" we were meant to be together. We were married less than 6 mos after we met.

I was the one that was always sick....I was the one that became almost disabled...and when he'd help me, I'd thank God for this wonderful man he put into my life. ...

...then, one night it was over. almost 26 years of marriage...gone in an instant. And I had to overcome my sickness and go on....and I DID!

Not a romantic ending, but somehow, I know he's proud of me...

Whenever someone would say, " You know marriage isn't a fairytale, there will be lots of bad times along with the good, I used to smile and nod as if I understood. But I didn't. But I went along because I didn't want to jinx myself. And I waited for those bad times. But they never came. Until you died. And now I can nod really and truly and agree that we don't all live happily everafter.

Your right. It was suposed to be happily ever after, that somehow we'd go together. For some reason I am still here, not by my choice but here I am, waiting to fufill my purpose.

i too had my fairytale...he passed in my arms from a massive heartattack - they refer to it as the "widow maker" on april 9th at 4 35am.. now what to do..
now my landlord is trying to evict me and my whole world seems to be crashing down. i am so fatigued i can hardly function; have been sick with asthmatic bronchitis, infact had to go to the er by ambulance this am. they had to give me oxygen and a breathing treatment on the way to the hospital cause i just could not breathe. my heart rythum i was told was a bit irratic with a couple of pvcs and afib, but nothing sustained. i can't stand this - i so badly want my life and my barry back.

You cant find happily ever after here on earth...Gods word promises someday He will wipe away all death and sorrow..no more tears or pain...I will live in the happily ever after..... after I leave this earth....but until then..I will serve and stay as close to Jesus as I can...He is the only way to the happily ever after and dont believe anyone who tells you other wise......:)
