A blog that started out as a humorous tale of raising 6 children, then quickly became a chronicle of my grief at being suddenly widowed. Now it's the rest of my journey ... of living, laughing, crying, praying, rejoicing. Of being happy, sad, angry, content, sorrowful, alone, amazed and very, very blessed. And still taking life, one breath at a time ........

Half
Tonight I went to a meeting with people from church. Everyone but me was a couple. I am a half. I live in a world of couples, something I never realized "before". Even as I looked around that room and counted the couples represented (around 10) I didn't feel as horrible as I expected to. I love the people in that room. I felt safe, even though it made me sad. I'd rather not be a "half" and I expect it will continue to make me sad, but at least I was there. I guess that's something.
I don't expect to do many other "couple" things.

It's a different situation for me, but reading what you wrote I thought "I know exactly what you mean" xoxo W
I love the pictures you have selscted daily to place with your post. Today's was before the digital age!
I have that exact pose of Jeff with Tricia! The news from here on Kenya is disturbing. I wonder if this is the area you were in.
I'm glad that you didn't feel as horrible as you expected to, and that you felt safe. It's something.
I love you. K
Good afternoon my darling daughter. I'm glad you were able to get out with others and felt safe doing it. They all love you very much and will protect you always. I have no doubt of this. Thank you for remembering our anniversary. David even remembered it! He was very afraid not to. ;)
Take care of yourself, Janine. Have you heard anything on the other xrays yet? I love you very very much.
