dave s Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I havent shed much of a tear for Mike since 5/9.....I am currently packing up the house here in anticipation of the move. Ed and I have closed and have the keys for a beautifull new home in the mts!!! This is something Mike wanted, it is also something I have wanted since before knowing Mike.......and interstingly so this is what Ed has wanted for a long time. Today as I take down Mikes things and wash them, for you know according to Mike you should move only clean items.........I cant help to feel a bit sad and have shed some tears which has surprised me......I hate this place, and yet I dont, it is a wonderfull home it is where my life started with Mike, it was where my life ended with Mikes death.......it is where Ed through great persistence on his part, stuck it out and wormed his way into this broken heart, wonder what he really saw in me! But thankfully he has stuck it out! Know that you would all love him as much as I do, so kind, loving, funny..... Anyhow today caught me off guard.......I really am excited about this move, and know it is what Ed and I need, yet cant help feeling bittersweet about this..........Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am smiling now! Dave That is so sweet and wonderful. I really do think our loved ones send us messages and let us know they love us and are still watching out for us. *hugs* I am so glad Mike was able to send you that newspaper.

Queeniemary Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Dave I know this move, while exactly what you need, is also hard, becausing a chapter is closing. I loved the story about the newspaper from Mike's home town. I do think they communicate in the oddest ways. My Mike bought a kind of small cow bell, dinner bell to hang on our back porch. It is pretty heavy and does not make a sound unless it is pretty windy. Yesterday morning I was in the kitchen, and heard a soft slow ringing. I looked out, and with no wind going on at all, the bell was slowly softly ringing, with the clapper slowly moving from side to side. I have a feeling my Mike was letting me know he was close.
