Sorry I`m not into the Happy Holidays it`s Merry Christmas to me, just wanted to check in and give an update of my life after AD, I have adjusted to being a widow, not interested in a new relationship as of now just happy being me, doing alot of family things this time of year, christmas programs at school, band concerts,going to basketball games for 13 yr old grandaughter, oldest daughter is now working so take care of 3 and 6 yr olds after school, should be interesting in the summer. I still think and pray for all who are still going through this journey, it has been easier for me by not checking in all the time, doesn`t mean I don`t care for my cyber family, reading all the sad things brings back bad and sad memories I want to forget, it is so much easier remembering Bob at his best, I will check in from time to time and do keep in touch by facebook, you all take care, don`t forget there is always a knot at the end of that rope . Love you all, Gail Gilles
Thanks Gail...glad life is going pretty well! I don't check in as much as sometimes, even though I'm right in the midst of it. Maybe I'm not as sad or stressed as I used to be...I guess there are times when we need to jump in and empathize, and times when we're managing well on our own OR just don't want to go there.
I don't blame you Gail. Not everyone wants to keep connected to a painful time in their life. You can always just go to the widow/widowers thread to keep in touch. Sounds like you are finding peace with your past and present. I am happy for you.
MaryGail*, it's good to hear from you again. We've been through a lot together. I check back often, if for no other reason than to see what cheeky message ol don has left for me. HIs latest one on Polish bread is typical, but what else do you expect from a man who only owns half a dog?
