I want to thank you all for your positive input when I posted about wanting to see Joe's family in Virginia (I live in Florida). It was 10 months since Joe died. I was really torn to pieces about going, thinking I would fall to pieces since that was our favorite place in all the world - the mountains, the beautiful fall leaves, so many loved ones. Your responses were all positive about YES I should go. Well, I did go! Thanks to you guys! I flew instead of driving and I was welcomed SO WARMLY and spent a whole week visiting all his many family members. We shopped antique stores, ate out, and ate in their homes too. I want you all to know that you made all the difference in my life for the encouragement you gave me. During the week I was there, our anniversary date occurred as we were always there for our anniversary. I was hugged and loved and the day was beautiful. Now I know I can continue what was our annual tradition of celebrating our anniversary where he grew up and where I became loved beyond belief. Thank you so very much!
