* Bill * Our 21st anniversary would have been 4/29/89 Bill has been gone 12 yrs. and I miss him more every day. A day never goes by without me thinking about him. It's just never the same after the love of your life is gone. Lucky to have found it once ...some people never find true love.

Morning everyone. Though I am not here as often, I think of you all here, in and out knotting on these threads trying to keep a connection, hoping to start a new one. You are precious hearts placed here, gifts to a world that can easily stay in a complacency, thinking life just flows along smoothly. Without the rough waters, we cannot appreciate the smooth. I have been encouraged and reminded by your lives, how you keep going, even when the tears blind the road. Just wanted you to know, I appreciate each time you open and share. xo, s

That is nice of yo to say, Sharris. And good morning to you. I have been out digging in the dirt with the shovel and my dog, Lady is digging right along with me. She must think there is something I am trying to get out of the dirt to eat. I can only stay out there so long and then I just get to sweating so bad. I can't believe the sweat bees are already out this year. Been lopping the roots and combatting the rocks. I broke one shovel handle last year and bent the point itself on these rocks. I think I got the new room site down well enough on one end. I just got to try to levelize it out for the whole concrete pad I will get to doing eventually. Atleast the ground isn't mucky from the rains. The good part is that I haven't had trouble with agraphobia and claustaphobia in a long time.

Hi all. Well I found the love of my life at the age of 21. We were married for 6 days and he was killed in a horrible accident. That was the worst time of my life losing him. I'm still feeling his loss and still get emotional over it after all these years. I remarried 9 years later only for it to end in divorce 5yrs later. Not sure if I'm classified as widowed or divorce... I never really know which one I should say when I'm asked. Mind you it's actually easier for me to share with others that I'm divorced, that way I don't have to go through all the details. Life can really be rough at times, but when it is we do need to learn to dance through those rain clouds so we can see beyond to the other side. Praying you are all enjoying life and learning to dance through the storms of life.

I was married for 59 years. Widower for 1 1/2 years. I don't miss the sex, but I sure get lonely.

Was with my wife Nanci for 26 years. We were married for 24 years. Nanci has been gone for 3 and a half years. I just want to help my friends and support group here on mingle for helping me through a very hard and tough loss in my life.

First of all, hello community. I was married 23 years and lost my sweet wife almost 4 years ago. I miss the daily intamacy of being with her, not the sex so much, but the hugs, touching, conversation, sharing moments, etc. I would really like to find someone to start over with, but at 51 having a hard time finding that person. I have spent an enormous amount of time and energy on my boys, 2e and 20, and feeling like it is my time. Thank you for listening and your support.
