George, LouVolta is perfect, lol... This is probably the shortest message you'll ever get from me, lol... As always, sending you lots of hugs and love, wishing you peace, all of us peace, all the way from TUTTAMVILLE... DEB & Skye Queen
Karen, Like you, I'm not ready to look at our wedding video, or pictures from what once was our life, the life I took for granted, that I would do anything to have back, TUTTAM!!! Those boxes of pictures that we were going to put into albums once we moved into this house, never happened. Even though my house is very small, and I could use the closet space, I can't open those boxes. I get teary eyed just looking at them. This bittersweet existence really SUCKS!!! Hugs and love to you and The Wink, wishing you peace, all of us peace. DEB and Skye Queen
Be brave DebSter... and when you are READY you will. You are not ready yet... You will be someday! Me too!
George, Isn't it impressive???, lol!!! I'm (almost) in shock, lol!!! However, don't be too impressed. I doubt I'm going to be able to keep on following in Karen's footsteps, lol... As always, zillions of hugs and lots of love to you too, wishing you peace, all of us peace. THE DEB & Skye-Captain
George, When the day comes when we're both ready, we need to have the BIGGEST!!!, TUTTAM!!! cyber party ever!!! Sending zillions more hugs, lots of love, wishing you peace, all of us peace, all the way from TUTTAMVILLE. Debster and Skye Karma (variety is the spice of life!!!)
George, you colored my day again with your art. It seems to give me mental & spiritual energy if that makes sense. Thank you, Karen
I am so glad you like my art! I am trying SO HARD to be myself again... it isn't easy! I want to do art cuz thatz one of the few things I have left of ME... I'm still trying to figure out who I am...
It's not easy. It will be 3 years for me in Nov and I'm still struggling with, "who am I" syndrome. The loneness in the late afternoons and evenings are the worst. I watch the clock hoping it will zoom by fast so I can go to sleep. Pitiful isn't it, this journey of nowhere. But, we have to keep hoping and like you said, keep trying. Someone told me I have to find a new you, new me. Hum, easy to day. Your art is your best friend, cherish it. Looking forward to more art, I need my color/spiritual fix. K
George, Thank you for the unexpected surprise!!!, for the smiles..., something I can NEVER!!! get enough of!!!, TUTTAM!!! I love all three pictures, but my favorite, if I had to pick one, would be the one on the left, but I'm not sure why. Will have to think about this... Keep on creating... Keep on keeping... As always, sending you lots of hugs and love, wishing you peace, all of us peace, all the way from TUTTAMVILLE. The DEB & Skye Captain
Karen, No way!!! I'm not that brain dead, at least not right now, lol!!! It never fails to amaze me how you can say it all, with so few words, lol!!! As always, sending you and The Wink, lots of hugs and love, wishing you peace, all of us peace. Debster & Skye Queen (variety is the spice of life!!!)
I have two things left: my art and my car... Afternoon and night are the hardest. No one cares much about my art except my friends on GIC.. I love sleep cuz I dream that I still have Valerie and a Life.. I feel like I'm dangling by a thread over an abyss. I don't mean to be dramatick, I just am so empty. I learned a psych term for this: anhedonia. Thanks! glad you dig the art!
The Deb. I made myself do art... I don't have much else these daze! (except endless dialysis torture, but at least the people there are nice to me! You and SkyTrooper stay well and keep trying too!
George and Karen, Although I've been working really hard to determine who I am now, I know I'm still very much a work in progress. Sadly, I think every one of TGW struggles with this. All we can do, as the two of you said, is to "keep hoping, keep trying." Some days it's easier than others, but the only thing I know for sure, is that Valerie, Jack, and Bob are with us every step of the way, along this miserable journey, that not one of us would have chosen to take!!!, TUTTAM!!! George it's way beyond wonderful that you have your art, a part of your old self, that is a part of the self, who you're morphing into... I used to love writing, but unfortunately I think the creative part, that was once me, might be MIA forever. Karen, I think whoever told you that you have to find a new you, is on target. Somehow we need to find things that we're passionate about, that make us feel alive again, even if we're not whole again. Not sure if this makes sense, but it's getting late, and I have to get Skye Karma ready for her evening walk, plus I lost where I was going with this, lol!!! I'm going to blame this on my always way too foggy widow brain, lol... Lots of hugs and love to you both, and to The Wink too, wishing you peace, all of us peace. DEB & Skye Queen
Art and writing poetry/journals.. all I have left!

Oh, thanks George, I really needed this, first thing in the morning. My first thought when I get up, check in to GIC. I love all those colours and forms combined together. Rose
