I looked at a photo of the Walker cousins, 1968, mine and Barry’s, K and B’s, and T and R’s today. I even posted it! Time flies. Two of the children photoed are already in Heaven…. We must catch the Sunlight of our days with as much vim and vigor as we can, andlive through the Staright, expecting the light to return. I am happy for you. Yes, once a widow, always a widow….two parents of these kids are also in Heaven. Life is short. We never forget those we have loved, and I feel it is impossible to even try to. I honor my husband, my son, and my grandson…. ’til I join them..

After my husband of over half my life said he was moving to greener grass I did not see or talk to him for 6 years. I felt like I had experienced death. Having seen him briefly several times in the past year it now is more realistic; divorce shattered our family. I remarried 3 years ago and feel that God brought me exactly the man I need now. He feels the same about me. I felt awkward occasionally during the transition to another version of myself,non the less one my friends had to get used to, as well. People usually lag behind in their definition of me and I think they finally get it. I will identify with your new journey in many ways and am excited to follow you!

Although I am married, I will always be TB’s widow. I love my husband and he is fun and kind and loving. He is a good man. Most times my thoughts are of those beautiful memories TB and I made in our 26 yrs together. But sometimes the grief slides in once again and I am overcome by what might have been; seeing our Grands graduate high school, get married , grow old together. I push grief away and deal with my life as it is. I have a good man to share my life. A friend. A companion. I am blessed.

I became an unexpected widow when I was 34 with 2 young children. I too thought my world had ended. My minister sat at my kitchen table the very night my husband was killed and told me that “the highest compliment I could pay him, was to find love again”. To this day I am still a little confused by this, but never the less, I remarried 4 years later, and we are celebrating our 30th anniversary today!! I don’t think of myself as a widow anymore, but there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of my deceased husband in some way or another. These are memories and thoughts that I carry deep inside my heart. If you can share these thoughts and memories with you Mr. Fix-it that is an added bonus to your relationship!!! There are some people who will never understand grief until it happens to them. You never ever stop grieving, you just learn to live your life in a different way. Oh Ginny, you already know all of this! Ha! I am just so very happy for you and Mr. Fix-it!!! I’m anxious to hear more of your story as it unfolds!!!
