- It's amazing how many different churches there are. Most of them have rules and regs that you must follow or you are looked down upon. Some of the rules are that you have to dress up, women can only wear dresses (no pants), you must bend your knee...
- Today started out bad and has gone downhill ever since. I'm just here to vent. First, I am keeping my 4 yr old grandson for half days. He and his mom didn't show up on time and I panicked thinking something awful had happened. So I drove to...
- In the midst of our sadness, we can give thanks for some of our favorite things. Remember the song from "The Sound of Music" about her favorite things?Mine don't rhyme, but here goes:Good girlfriendsThe soft skin on my grandchild's little arms and...
- Joe had 3 main doctors during his treatment for lung cancer, diagnosed at stage 4.The surgeon who removed the tumor, stayed in constant touch with us and the nurses, night & day during all the complications over many weeks. He even gave me his...
- I've never been much of a believer in dreams, as far as them having meaning. However,I've been having some real doozies lately and cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on in my subconcious mind.I do not want to date or marry again. I...
- I guess no one can actually say when we become "old". I guess it's when we start noticing signs of decline, however small. As we start losing our once sharp minds, eyesight, knees, backs, etc. it becomes scary. I never thought too much about it...
- Today a storm started brewing, not a big one, but one with lots of wind, trees bending and jerking around. Joe and I used to love to experience a storm together. He had 2/3 of our deck made into a screen room where we could sit and drink our...
- Just a quick note that my abdominal surgery went OK and I only stayed one night in the hospital. My family stayed by my side. I had been so worried and depressed about Joe not being there with me. But I made it through and am recovering well at...
- I'm having abdominal surgery Thursday and I have been dreading going through this experience without Joe. When Joe was going through lung cancer surgeries and treatments, I was by his side 24/7 and retired from my job to do so. My son is taking...
- Does anyone remember that song? I can't remember all the words, but I have always loved the song. As I think of Joe's and my time together, this is the song that I think of. Our marriage was the 2nd for both of us, so we started off later in life...
- I have enjoyed many of the great sayings that have been posted on here and thought we would enjoy it if everyone else who has a great saying would share it with us. Two of the most recent have been "Have a great day if you want to" and (concerning...
- I just want to say that I always think of and pray for people for whom Mother's Day is not a happy day. There are so many people whose mothers hurt them, by abandonment or abuse. Others may never have known their mothers for whatever reason. ...
- I have said from Day One (16 months ago) that I have no interest in dating or remarrying. I still feel that way. Joe did not really want me to remarry and I don't want to, either. However, for these 16 months I have been in such pain and...
- Well, I'll be darned. Yesterday I wrote about the female major network anchor that asked a little boy whose dad had died in the 9/11 attack if he "still missed his dad". Well, well, today an announcement was made that she is being replaced by...
- I can't believe (well, yeah, I can considering the source) what I heard from a national female newscaster at Ground Zero yesterday. She is always saying the wrong thing (insensitive). She asked a child whose father was killed on 9/11 if he still...
