And then he was gone !!
24 hours ago I lost the love of my life ! He battled Parkinson's for 16 years and now he is free of the tremors that never stopped, the pain that was always there and the fight with PD that ultimately could not be won. I find that I cannot cry, they keep telling me to cry but I am numb. I have held it back for so long because I was always with him. Never time to cry. Our son, DIL and grandchildren have been at our side for the last 2 weeks. Loving us and supporting us. I married at 16 and now 56 years later I am alone for the first time in my life. Not sure how to do this... but I know this I have to find the way forward myself. Your prayers and hugs through these past weeks have meant so much to me. I know that I will falter, many times, but I treasure all of you and your friendship means so much to me. Thank you, pat

Pat, I am so very sorry. I know you know that you will see him again one day. And when you do, he will be whole and well and happy. And it will be like no time has passed at all, and all the memories of all the pain and sorrows will be no more.

Dear Pat,
My heart goes out to you as I understand your sorrow. So glad you have family to support you. God gives strength for each day. Expect the tears to come eventually. Just let them. Yes, it\'s a new phase of your life but God will get you through it. I wish I could just put my arms around you but know that God already has His arms around you and that\'s far better.
Much love, Doris
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dearest Pat: I just checked in and read your news. I can\'t imagine how hard thisws is for you. Losing Alan after 28 yrs was bad but after 56 yrs! My dear friend just take it one day at a time. Everyone including me thought I was fine but six months after Alan crossed over I crashed. All of us grieve in our own way. Do not expect you to be the same as anyone else. With the love of our Lord you will make it through this too. big est hugs and Prayers Marlene
You\'ve been on my mind and I hope you have felt the strength I\'m sending with each prayer. Mom was married at 16 also Pat, and lasted 52 years till he left us. It\'s a wonderful legacy you leave...a great example of love and caring and perseverance...such class. Absolutely the \"greatest generation\".
Love you, xoxoMelody
All of you sweet ladies have helped me through the first week.......Has it only been 6 days? It seems like so much longer. Thank you all !!!
I am so sorry for your loss of your wonderful husband but like the others glad he is out of pain and suffering. You will do fine. You always have and have what it takes to go on. Life won\'t be the same but it will be a good one I feel sure. Hug your family and friends closer and let them lend you strength and give you love that is always yours.
