Am with you today Kay and praying all goes well. Keep us posted when you can and you are in my thoughts. Hugs

My heart is with you today Gwen, I know how hard it is to know they won't be turning another year older. Dale and I didn't really do anything big for our birthdays either, just go out to our favorite restaurant and exchange cards, just like you two did, but like you said it was big to us and we were together. Sending you all my hugs!!

Sending big hugs to you Gwen, hope today goes a little better.

Just needed to get this out today. Today is our 38th wedding anniversary and I miss Dale so much!! I really need him right now to make me feel loved, safe and his wit to make me smile. Dale, you are my heart and soul forever.

You're in my thoughts Kay, these anniversary date, especially ones that should be happy, are so hard. Hugs

So sorry Gin, I know exactly what you are feeling, Dale's 5 year mark was in July. Also sorry you are having to go through those things alone. My heart is with you and sending you hugs. Joyce

Happy Birthday Marg, hope it was a decent one.

As if every day isn't hard enough to deal with, the "special happy" days just keep coming. Dale would be turning 69 today and he's not here to celebrate with. He would have gotten a card from me first thing this morning and a kiss and then all day we would be planning on which of our 2 favorite restaurants to go to for dinner and then spend an enjoyable evening together celebrating his special day. I miss him so much. Kay, I'm so sorry and hopefully they will be able to offer some more options, hugs

Gwen, I'm so sorry for the decision you had to make, I know how hard that must have been. My heart is with you.

I don't post much anymore when I get this way I just tend to keep everything inside. Today is 5 years that Dale left this earth and I can't believe it has been that long, it still feels like it just happened. This past year has been very difficult with all the physical pain I've been dealing with and then the virus isolation and missing Dale more and more every day. It's so hard to want to keep going, for what? I'm not living a life just existing, I sure hope that some day it will feel like living. Very sad today.

I'm glad you found someone to help with your bandage. Hope the pain in your hand is a little better today.

Your are in my thoughts Marg, our "happy" anniversaries are so difficult. Hugs

You are in my thoughts today Kay, I know how hard these certain days can be. Sending hugs

Gwen, glad you made that decision and I'm sure it will feel good knowing that they are at "home" forever now, sorry it caused you such physical pain though. I have spread Dale's ashes in 2 places so far and still have a couple more to go and once that is done it will feel good that he will be in some of his favorite places forever.

Karen, those anniversary dates are so hard and they just keep coming! I hope you got through the day pretty ok and my heart is with you.

Truthfully I don't remember my first thought, just remember the pain of trying to get out of bed and I guess my 1st thought was hope I get to the bathroom in time!! Now that I work from home, I don't change clothes much, I'm in my comfy pants and t shirt most of the time.

I'm still here, I know I don't post very often, but I do come and read and like everyday. I'm doing ok, just staying home like we are suppose to be doing. I've been ordering food online for a couple of years now since I don't have a car and have a delivery service pick it up for me, however, now it's impossible to get most things I want, like meat, canned goods and of course toilet paper. I'm use to being in the house all the time, but that doesn't make it any easier knowing that I can't or shouldn't go anywhere now, but yet, it's probably a good thing I don't go out and see what the town looks like, I don't know if I could handle everything being closed or limited on shoppers. Everyone please take care of yourselves and hope this will be over soon. Hugs to all

I'm sorry, these dates sometimes are hard to take. My 5th year is coming up soon too and it does seem like this mark is harder than some of the other ones. Sending you hugs

Oh Gin, I'm so sorry you are having to go through all these things at once. Remember we are with you and you will be in my thoughts. Hugs

Kay, so sorry about Kitty, it's hard and yes it is sad. Sending you hugs

I'm so sorry Gwen, I wish I could be there for you, hope they get you feeling better soon, you will be in my thoughts, love you and sending hugs.

Wow, Gwen, I'm sure that hurt, but glad you were able to do it. You are braver than me, I don't have anything that Dale did, but I still can't listen to the music he and I loved and listened to all the time yet. Sending hugs

Sending Hugs!!

So sorry Kay, that is scary news. My brother has had several skin cancers removed and has been fine, if that helps any. Try to stay positive (I know easier said than done). Hugs

Gwen, you explained it perfectly and that is how I am feeling too, can't get past that empty feeling inside.
