I have a REALLY hard time this year saying I'm fortunate for anything (that "grateful" conversation that's been around...)... but I have to hold that closer. It will help with the defeatest feelings, and give me a "memory" of thinking/feeling that when all seems lost. My new partner deserves to know that too. That's another thing we were talking about last night -- my business partner was talking about how excited she is about the shop and being part of it, and she understands it's hard for me to be excited about her. I felt horrible, I don't mean to not be excited. She IS just what I need now. "Excited" is just an impossible emotion these days. Kay, actually that is what kept me from sleeping last night. I was thinking about "telling" our story to our staff -- then that switched to writing, since I'm much better at being able to say what I mean in writing rather than talking. I choke back tears thinking about how few people are left here who knew him at all, and I wanted them to understand why I bring him up so much here. To me, he is still so integral. I want them to know why. I have a blurb in our takeout menu about the history of the business, but I have not changed it since before all this happened. It still says "husband and wife Patricia and Ron... are..." Sigh. Guess I gotta change that soon. I can make a nice tribute to our baby, Maui Pasta. I'd like that. Thanks for the suggestion! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Patty I doubt I can ever eat pasta again without thinking of you two. I doubt I'm the only one who thinks that way. That brings up a thought. Every one of us knows or will know in time who the person was connected to each one of us. I look at you all as a couple just not currently together. Something like that I wish I could express it more clearly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
