Glad to hear you are getting through Jim. That is a STRANGE coincidence! I will be doing a First Friday event tomorrow at the last place I saw my friend Brian before he passed. Life has a way of reminding us of those that we love the most in little subtle ways that can some times catch you off guard. Some times I catch myself wishing that Brian could be somewhere, and then I realize that his spirit and energy ARE there with me. Maybe what she is trying to tell you is that she will always be with you and that she doesn't want you to be sad since she is not gone, just hanging out on a different plane of existence? Who knows, but I have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as well ((Jim))! Hang in there!
This kind of comment is why I love the Trippy community so much.
I've not been able to pop on much of late with the new job and trying to spend time with my husband when we have conflicting schedules, but I dropped in tonight and saw this.
We just passed the one year marking of my Dad's passing. When that happened, we had just moved to a new town where I had absolutely no support system in place. Coming to this thread, venting, and having so many people offer kindness and support really helped me get through that time. I know it sounds sappy, but I really don't know what I would have done without this virtual community to lean upon.
Tonight is the first night I have logged on since the anniversary date and I see Bert's kind and wise words and then I read the most amazing thing - that our DW is cancer free. And I'm filled with unbelievable happiness. DW, you said you were going to win this fight for people like my Dad and you did it. My heart feels like it's going to burst.
And while I may not have time to do more than pop my head in every couple weeks for a while, I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate you all.
And yes, my beautiful Trippy Tips, too!
