As I am writing this I am realizing is what I am trying to do today Christmas is to pretend in my mind that it is just another day. Christmas was always special for us and since I cannot have that I am choosing (selfish or note) to pretend its not here. Boy, thats really giving my mind a workout. My goal is to try to just get thru each day, one foot in front of the other, and not to look too far ahead. When I do that, I get completely lost. I also want to wish each and everyone of you a best holiday possible and and great big thanks for all of your support when I need it the most. Love, Alice

Christmas came and passed and we made it. Even though it was hard we survived. I try to also not look to far ahead, because you can get lost. We just have to continue to take one step at a time. The support I have received and continue to reseive on this site has been a life saver.

The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.

Love and warm hugs going your way my friend.....Stella

It sounds like you are a really teriffic woman who know that walking this road will have to be done at your pace and in your own time. He sounds like a wonderful man and I know that the 35 years you had were the kind that every woman would wish for.
