jaycee, your positive attitude is for everyone to praise. It’s not easy to become a single after being a couple for so long. As the time grows closer to that final parting for my hubby and me, I’m beginning to imagine what life alone will be like. I’m especially thankful today that we are both here to enjoy it. We are both getting old and crochety, but he’s still the love of my life.
That compliment was so sweet and meant a lot to me. I have not always had a positive attitude. For a while after my loss, I would stare out my kitchen window sorta staring into space and wondering WHY? Many months went by and I then realized that he would never walk up that driveway again. And I knew he was in Heaven and there would be no dialysis in Heaven and he would suffer no more. That alone was a blessing to me.
I had a lot of good friends and we went to lunch a lot. I joined the Red Hats club and we had some wonderful times together! Eventually, you will lead a normal life. You always remember all the happy times together and my two sons were SO HELPFUL to me and still are! I asked God to help me and HE did.
I am quite a happy person now even with all my aches and pains!! Just thankful I’m here and I have family and friends. I heard Dr. Stanley say that many people say “they have nothing to be thankful for.” Dr. Stanley said to those people to wake up in the morning and say, “Thank you Lord, that You brought me through the night and I woke up this morning!”
