He was so very ill that it was a blessing,but after caring for him for so long my life has changed totally.
I am going out on my Thurs trip as usual as he would have wanted.

RIP Dan <3

time passes so quickly doesn't it Brenda - 12 years in October since I lost my lovely OH - sometimes it seems like only yesterday and other times years away :-)

It's your time now Brenda, you get out there and enjoy it.

Isn't it odd not being a carer any more? Nothing unspeakable to wash, no commode to grace your home and no help negotiating the benefits system!

Now you get your sandwiches done and off you go.

Bon voyage (that's foreign you know!)

Brenda, I remember when he passed away and it really doesn't seem like 3 years. But I do so admire the way that you have rebuilt your life. Enjoy your day out. <3

My thoughts are with you. In November it will three years since my husband died. I can understand just how you feel but as PollyinBrum said, he is still close by. xxx <3

Brenda, I truly hope you have a very lovely and happy day today.
As Gwyn beautifully writes ‘building more memories’. Lovely words!
Time indeed passes quickly upon reflection after we have lost our loved one.
AnneCardiff lost her Lawrence almost 12 years ago, and Tenerife Sun lost her love almost three years ago.
It is just two years and four months since I lost my darling Margaret after 46 years of happy marriage.
I would like to note the words I put in the Toronto Star last April.
Perhaps they seek the unknown answer so many of us ponder ...

‘Two years have passed,
Yea, still we ask
“Why were you taken from us?”
Though reason we will never learn,
Our love for you shall always burn.
XXXXX’

I e-mailed my three last weekend and started ...
“I am writing to keep you up-to-date what is happening in my small world!
I may be alone but I am not lonely, to quote Chief Inspector George Gently last week.”

As individuals we do things differently and surely we often wonder what others might think of our actions.
Perhaps we silently seek approval?
None of us has that much time on earth so we should perhaps throw caution to the wind - occasionally! - and do what makes us happy.
This is often easier said than done for many of us, and ...
... does not take away our love and what we think of our dearly departed ...
... or what they might think now, peering down upon us.

Look at the solid support and love for you here, Brenda.
I am absolutely sure your Dan would want you to go on your trip.
We all hope you have a lovely time today.
You most certainly deserve it!! xxx
