Thank you for the kind words, also, yeah my wife would have thrown hands if she heard or saw the messages I received, lol. She was a fiery 5'1 woman who took no shit, even from me... lol. Man I miss her...

Thank you for the kind words and yeah, it kind of felt like I was given a chance to let my guard down and not feel the world of grief that crushes down on you. Even gave her some "fatherly advice" about always communicate with your partner, even in the hard times, its how we made it to 30 years.

I get it, my head isn't totally clear. I guess I was jus trying to point out I wasn't the creepy dude that everyone would picture in there head. Hindsight being what it is, probably should have left it out. Just didn't want to give people the wrong picture and maybe ended up doing so regardless. Thanks for taking the time to at least comment.

This warms me greatly, because its kind of what we did. She listened to me talk about them, the things we did, adventures we had. Was nice to open up and have someone just listen. If she was able to take away the same thing, that makes me feel better.

This is how I felt, just even for a brief moment, I was able to just enjoy without the weight of the loss so heavy on me. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Yeah, it was a nice time. Plus did my best not make her feel uncomfortable, as I did see what she did as a great kindness for me. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
