I still can't believe that she is gone. I became good friend her on this site...she and I lost our husbands 2 months apart and they were around the same age and Wendy and I were the same age. I had not talk to her a few months but we where facebook friend and commented on each others post. I hope that she is in Steve's arms again....thank you Wendy for being such a good friend when I needed one...heaven has another angel......

Thanks Marty and Kay...Life can be so funny the way things change some for the good and some for not so good but I guess that is what makes us strong...I have been very lucky in my life so have 2 wonderful men love me and for my first true love Bruce to have given my our beautiful Kids without them I would not have gotten throw this pain of losing their Dad and now all these beautiful Grandkids. You may think that is funny but I really believe that Bruce brought Alex into my life. I am going to tell you something that my Cousin Sue told a few months after Bruce's death...he said to make sure that I find someone to love again because he didn't want me to be alone for the rest of my life I was much to young and had a lot of love in me to give. So from that he knew that there was something wrong and never said anything. You I have remarried but there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Bruce and all the thinks he has missed out on like see all his grandkids being born ...our youngest son getting married and I can tell he would have loved her with her firey red hair just like me...well all I wanted to say was thanks Ladies for all you love and support thro my most darkest time......

Hello Everyone It has been 2 years since I remarried and life is good. Since Bruce's death I have had 6 grandkids..4 grandsons from the ages 0f 5 to 10 months and 2 granddaughters 2 and 3 with another on the way in Jan and I was told this weekend that it will be another boy I wish with all my heart that Bruce could be here to see them all. My youngest son got married in June so that makes all the kids married and they all have their own families now too. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to find happiness again I really thought that is one was lucky enough to find it once in their life that we where lucky but I guess that I was lucky twice in my life...anyways I just thought that I would up date everyone on how my life is going...thanks to everyone that was here when I needed you most with out each and everyone I really don't know were I would be today...

Visiting The Grave
Gail_R replied to azusaman's topic in Loss of a Spouse, Partner, or Significant Other
Hi Ted...It will be 3 years on Jan 20 that I lost my husband Bruce and I can tell that the first time I went to his grave I felt like the day we put him to rest..but I did it and everytime I went after that it was not as bad as the first but still to this day it is hard to go there..but for me it was good ...it was a place that I could sit and talk to him about all the this that were going wrong in my life and I have to say it did help me..but that is something that you have to decide for yourself..it still maybe to soon for you ...hope that this helps...gail -
thanks ladies...well he is a few years younger then me..4 1/2 years..my kids are all adult..mike my oldest will be 32 in dec..john is 29 and christina my daughter is 26 and i will be 51 the end of july..now Alex's boys are much younger..his oldest just turned 18 and the youngest is 11..i have to say i never thought that i would have found someone to love again but i have and it is wonderful..sometimes i think that Bruce is up there looking out for me...I know that you would like Alex they both have the same values..so maybe he did help bring us together...anyways thanks for the reply just wanted to let everyone that doing good and that my life is looking great...gail

Hi everyone it has been a very longtime since I have posted on this site..but for a change it is good news...I have met the most wonderful man and we are moving in together and talking about getting married within the next year..never in my wildest dreams did i ever think that this would happen to me...I thought that after Bruce's death 2 1/2 years ago that my life was done..that I was going to live out the rest of my life alone and loney and to never love or be loved again but someone up there had a different plan for me and thank him everyday for that...I have to say it is so nice to have someone in my life again that loves me and wants to be with me and that my kids love too..because if they did not like him I dont think that this would work but they do and his kids love me too...so just wanted to let all of you know that I'm alive and doing well and happy again for the first time in a very longtime...Gail

Hello Everyone..today is 2 years since my beloved husband Bruce died..how can that be..it was just yesterday that we were talking about all the things that we wanted to do now that the kids are all grown up and on their own...my heart is so heavy and the tears are flowing...I miss him so much..there are so many things that we will not get done that we thought that we would..like watching are grandsons grow up...do the travelling that we where hoping to do and just grow old and gray together and rock on our front porch...I know that life goes on and the world moves and changes and I have to but I will never be the woman I was before this happened to me...he was the best and most kind man that I have ever meant and to think that he made me his wife..what a lucky girl I was to have meant him and married him and had his 3 beautiful kids...god has truely blessed me ...I just wish that he was still here with me to share are the wonderful things that life still has in store for us..but I know in my heart that he is watching over us today and everyday...thank you all for being here for me these last 2 years I really dont know where I would be if my daughter had not found this site for me..you are the most loving and caring people that have ever meant in my life..thank you again...Love Gail

Dear Karen..I too have been seeing a gemtleman for about a month now..I also meant him online ..he has been to my home and seen all the pictures of Bruce and me...our family pictures and he is fine with it..well and if he is not then he is not the man for me..as Bruce will always be a very important part of my life...without him there would be NO kids and No grandkids...so if this man wants to be with you then he will need to understand that Jack was a very important part of your life...without him you would not be who you are today....Gail

If You Could Have Just One Hour
Gail_R replied to MikeC's topic in Loss of a Spouse, Partner, or Significant Other
Mike what a wonderful question..I like you and everyone else.. I want to make love to him and spend a few minutes alone and then I would have my kids come over and he could meet his two beautiful grandsons...hold them and kiss them and tell them and our kids how much that he loves us all..and then just curl up and cuddle and one hour would just not be enough..god a whole life time would be enough...just to hear his voice and his laugh would mean more then I can put into words..thanks Mike it is something to think about...Gail.. -
