Hi Judith,
I took your advice and called to ask Steve if he and his son wanted to go to Canobie Lake Park with us Memorial Day Weekend. I am so glad that I took your advice! Steve called me back that night and said they definitely would both love to go with all of us if we wouldn;t mind them being there.
The he opened up and started talking to me because he knows that I was where he is now in grief, and physical and emotinal pain. I am so glad that I called. He needed a friend to listen and to let him unleash. I am glad that I could help him out. His loving wife and he were so good to me during my darkest days and they helped me out so much and encouraged me to take baby steps and get out.
I could not believe one thing he said to me. Someone said that he should not be going out and having any fun with his son or anyone for a year.
I guess this started because he said that he took his son to the movies.
I was glad I was able to reply that Darlene told me to do what I felt I could handle and the hell without anyone else. If I wanted to go to a game or somewhere with my son it was no-one's business. They even went with us on a weekend away that first year just to give us some relief.
Thanks for helping me out again. I guess this one is a little hard for me since I thought the world of Darlene too and it breaks my heart that she has gone
