- I will be spending the night outside in Shane's Memorial Garden, watching the meteor shower. It was something we would have enjoyed together...
- I still have yard work to finish, and I am hoping to get to that today. It is, for the most part, the more manageable stuff. Just need to find the motivation!!
- Even the thought of doing something remotely enjoyable brings about horrible guilt. Shane doesn't get to have fun anymore... he doesn't get to take the grandkids places, watch a funny show, listen to his favorite song, eat his favorite food, go...
- I was reading through the post about the shirt quilts and it made me want to share something... Shane had huge arms... years of farming, wood cutting, and all other forms of extremely physical work and lifting weights (which seemed quite redundant)....
- I picked up my grand daughter, Ava, at 830 this morning... she is 15 months old and a very good baby!! It's my son's weekend to have her, but he had a charity golf outing so she spent the day with me. Then, my daughter-in-law got dropped off her...
- I tried to do some more yard work today, and it was a bit overwhelming. So many areas needed attention... flowerbeds, sitting areas, ugghh. I have a massive rose bed, and it was looking AWFUL, as was many of my formerly beautiful areas within the...
- We were always such busy busy people. A full day, every single day, of manual labor. Now, most days, I sit... I do the basics... and not much more. Once in a while, we would try to sneak a couple of hours to go fishing... have not done that yet,...
- I mowed the lawn... It really should have been done a few days ago, but I have been putting it off. We have a very large yard, and Shane always made it look wonderful... he was a fanatic about it. My criteria lately seems to be, "it needs to be...
- Often if I was up late working, I would lose track of the time. My husband would come out and tell me it was time for bed. Sometimes, if I do not at least TRY to lay down my midnight... the volume of the bedroom television will go all the way up...
- My daughter is 17 and the doorknob of her bedroom door broke... locking her inside. It took some work... the little latch thing would not pop free with a butter knife or a debit card. I ended up sliding a screwdriver under the door and having her...
- There have been many signs of my husband's continued presence (still nothing compares to actually having him here) My birthday was April 3rd, and Shane had ALWAYS stayed up until midnight, woke me up, and said happy birthday. He always wanted to...
- I have, thus far, only stated that my husband died suddenly in an accident. With some horrific things that have happened lately, and a serious need to vent, I must provide more detail....My husband's grandfather owned a logging company, and my...
- My father passed away 3 and 1/2 years ago... my sisters thought that my mother and I would have some special bond, since we have both lost our husbands... We don't. I love my mom... but I see how much pain she is in after this long and it makes me...
- So, tomorrow marks five months since I lost my better half. Our 19th wedding anniversary is next Sunday..... I am not looking forward to that at all. I have decided to "disappear" for a few days. I have no plans or reservations... no clue where I...
- I am putting in a memorial garden for Shane. I started today, and it will take weeks to finish it. I have removed the topsoil from a 1500 sq. ft. area and leveled it all off... got most of the landscaping cloth down, but had to call it a day at...
