Hawaii Vacation
Had a wonderful time in Oahu with Kathy, Lana and Connie my 3 widow friends.... did a lot in 6 days , we all got along and wish we could have stayed longer ... Kathy asked what my favorite part of the trip was and my response was I loved all of it, but what I enjoyed most was being with people 24/7 having people to eat with, wake up with, go to bed with and talk to.... it was also very nice that we could spend time talking about our spouses and our lives before ... we shed a few tears but it was a fun fun much needed vacation .... and we hope to make it an annual trip having more join us ... I still miss you very much Jim and think about you every day , today I relived so many emotions as I received an e mail from Mark who poured out his emotions in an email to me , his beloved Diane died 2 weeks ago and he is just starting this grief journey, everything and I mean everything he wrote to me was exactly where I was 2.5 years ago.... guilt , regret, those awful video tapes of the end playing over and over .... I am so very happy that I am able to help him ... good night for now .... I will love you forever, miss you forever and the sadness in my heart remains forever

I am so glad that you enjoyed your vacation. I think it made it special being with other widow friends so you could talk about your spouses as well.
Glad that you can be there for Mark.........hugs
I agree with everything that Lovedaidies and Shirley said. You deserved a good time.
I am so glad you had a wonderful well deserved vacation. There is nothing like spending time with people who understand. Your helping Mark will also help you, Sending you hugs, Lu Ann
So glad you had a wonderful and MUCH DESERVED vacation! And to be spedning it with people who get how you feel? that\'s the icing on the cake. You do so much for others with your FB page, and all the work you do to get what we feel out, and there for a friend when you are needed anytime. Mark is lucky to have you, and i\'m sure he knows that well! You will be his lifeline!
HUGs and looking forward to meeting you in person in Vegas! Diane
