So sorry Kathy,
My husband, Roy passed away March7th, 2006. Forever he will be 35. He had fought kidney disease for 30 years of his life, went through 3 kidney transplants, and several years of insufferable dialysis.
Near the end, the pain in his face was evident, but he continued to put forth a brave face and smile everyday. He did everything he could to make me happy. He was soooo brave, and he was such a romantic, despite his debilitating pain, he still managed to get up and dance with me.
He loved playing cards, and he taught me this game called sheepshead. I now belong to a wonderful group of friends and this weekend they are hosting a card tournament where all the proceeds go to the national kidney foundation. I prepared a photo board with some wonderful pictures from Roy's archived photo collection, and I think this is why my heart is so heavy.
I still miss him so much, and I wish he were still here, but I know where he is, there is no more pain and suffering. So, although I want to be selfish and still have him here, I must let him go, and let his soul be free.
I send you my heartfelt prayers that your heart's aches and emptiness is eased today, tomorrow, and forever,
Lovingly,
Judith
