My best friend and husband of 30 years died unexpectedly in December so I am new to this group. I have found you all to be so very supportive and I want to tell you how much you have helped me (especially between 1 and 6 am when I seem to need you the most). Knowing others are having or have had some of the same emotional moments, breakdowns, etc. that I am having helps ~ not that I want every one to be in pain but you know what I mean, I was wondering if anyone might live nearby. Just curious ~ oh and I live outside the Roanoke/Salem area of Virginia

Saint Paul, Minnesota. Wee hours of the morning, CST, listening to the sleet strike the window.

I guess I am not the norm because usually I am in bed by 830-9 as by then I cannot stand the quiet in the house any longer.. ... I sleep until 3 or so and then just lay there until the about 4 and get up to start another day. Live in Washington state.

I live in Hurst Texas. Yes, skeet will return. I remember those nights going to sleep at 2:30 and getting up at 5:30 and going strong. I think that's when you are numb.
