Posted by Judith on 8/26/2007, 2:49 am, in reply to "Loss of Spouse" One of my friends at cards today asked me if I was thinking about dating yet? I told her I didn't think I was ready, but that I had been starting to talk about it. She told me I would have to lose the rings..... My heart just sank. I had never even thought about my rings. I still look at them every day, and think to myself how much they sparkle, and how he chose just the right ones, and how much he loved his... I can't part with these yet, in actual fact, NOT EVER. It hasn't been 2 years yet, and I still get flashes of our last moments together, or the last time I spoke to him, or he spoke with me. I still miss him so very much. May I ask, Joanne, about your wonderful husband? How you met, what he passed from? His passions? if you can. I don't want to pry. But I enjoy reading beautiful stories of the loved ones we remember, and miss with all our hearts. I send you my thoughts and prayers that you have sunnier days ahead. Thank you for letting me unload on you. I spent all day with many of our card group friends and I get down when I have to come alone and not have Roy here to discuss hands and the day's events, and how happy he was, and how proud he was , and just how happy to be holding hands on the ride home. Take care, God Bless you and your loved ones, Lovingly,
Dear Joanne,
I NEVER want to take my rings off, or his from around my neck. NO WAY. I guess I am not ready to date, if it means putting these away too.
Judith
