karenb Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi friends, It's 3 years today since Jack went to his "real" home. I know he was well received, I've no doubt about that knowing his kind and giving heart. I am, of course, nostaltic, but I am comfortable. I went to church this morning, sat with my friend, and during the service I said, "It's 3 years today." She got tears in her eyes, gave me a hug, and said, "Are you okay, I love you." That's a real friend. I am okay. At 3 years I guess you come to terms with things you haven't before. It just takes time to do that. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself, sorry that I don't have someone to do a "honey list," and someone here to love, live with, and take care of. But this part of life has to be learning, growing, and understanding. Well, my good friends, here I am. I'm well, relatively content, have wonderful new good and caring friends, and YOU! Thank you all.Your friend, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
