The Glade 4.0

Ten years ago yesterday my wife passed away.

As one of our other dearly departed friends once said, emotions are weird, it has been a rough day. I'm kind of glad it was a national holiday where I didn't have to go to work.

While I spent the day fairly morose, I got through it totally sober, didn't do anything stupid, and had dinner with my daughter and some of our mutual friends.

With Ice Tea, we toasted those dearly departed for each of us and enjoyed the company of those still here.

Those of you who were here back then, thank you for all the kind and sympathetic words. They really helped.

I still love her and always will.

Micheal

Hugs. I'm thinking of you.

Sounds like you spent the day well. Is it true what they say? Better to have loved and lost?

Yes, painful but better.

I'm sorry, Mike.

That's good - it means the fond memories outweigh the pain. I'm sorry for your loss - I have not had to deal with anything similar, but I can imagine it would be beyond difficult.

Thank you all.
