Oh yes, Teny, we do feel the same. The other day my boss yelled and cussed at me so bad, it upset me the rest of the night. As I was driving home I felt chest pains and I pulled over and did some breathing exercises. I was praying and I thought how wonderful it would be to go be with George, and yet I don't want to miss out on my kids' lives and possible future grandchildren. So I don't feel the time is right for me to go, yet I would love to if not for my kids. Yes, I do feel torn, I think most of us do.

Dear Teny.

My heart aches for you when I read of your sorrow. Yiany must have been a very wonderful, loving, caring man. It would break his heart to see you in so much pain. Our masses at church this month center around remembering those that have died, so I do understand how it feels to so badly want to hold onto the love that is now gone. But I have to believe that the love is still here, with us, in our memories, in our thoughts and in the way we live our lives. I was told that to hold on so strongly to the past will not allow me to grab the future. There is joy to be found. It doesn't seem possible, I know, but without that hope to sustain me, I would be unable to move. Moving on doesn't mean forgetting. I will always think of myself as Bob's wife. Nothing gave me more pleasure.

You are very brave and strong for making your way these two years. We all know it has been the hardest thing you have ever done. Yiany would certainly be proud of you.

Many hugs,

Kath

Oh yes, I know how you feel. I feel bad but I have said that it wouldn't bother me at all if I died. I know I would be with Tom. That being said I wouldn't do anything to harm myself either.

Yesterday when I woke this Eric Clapton song came on the radio. After I cried a while I felt like I wanted to get up and dance so I just acted like Tom was there and did exactly that.

These words seem to fit how we each feel so well. Hope you enjoy because it's just not OUR time yet.

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way, through night and day

Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knee

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

Begging please

Beyond the door

There's peace I'm sure.

And I know there'll be no more...

Tears in heaven

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven
