Dreams and my future…..gone in

Karen, as I may have written elsewhere
here, The Louster got bored in my rainy
town today, hopped on a bus ( taking
slow scenic route), got off at a spot I'd
never been, and did a Forest Gump , free
flow walk , in my rain jacket ( & hood) and
Linda's cane. I love using her cane.
Strangely, it doesn't make me sad. It makes
me calm & exhilarated at the same time,
that Linda is somehow watching over me.
I ended up treating myself to a dinner at
a bar. In the not so longer "old days",I'd
be buzzed on a gray, rainy, depressing
day like this. But, I wasn't, and was content
to look out at the sailboats in the harbor.
I was happy that I was having hot chowder,while the boaters were trying
to bring the boats to shore, before the
rain got heavier. When I got home, I took
a long hot shower, sometimes using Linda's
bench for safety. Later , I went into a
blissful sleep. I woke up briefly just now, at 11:30 pm, my time, and was amused to
see your message, Karen. I'm so glad I
continue to make you laugh. As Linda
used to say to me: "My mission is done....."

Hi Peg,
My husband Tom died in September and like you I miss him very much. Life will never be the same for either of us but I have found that joining and talking with this group has helped me in many ways. Everyone is very supportive and we help each other. I am not sure what I would do without the help they have shared. I am truly so sorry for your location and feeling alone. I have a bit of the same I am in South Carolina and have no family around me. They are all in other states. A Few calls but after a time everyone thinks you are ok. Well, not so the case. It is lonely and difficult. Reaching out helps. Telling my story to everyone here helps me remember, cry and again be beside Tom. Stay with us and let us be your friends.
Love and hugs,
Janiceanne
