I do gather hope from many places, and just want you to know how important my visits to your blog is to me. <BR/><BR/>I am fortunate to also have a friend who is a therapist (she has 2 of my cats) and she has helped me a lot to get through and move on. I have been lucky in many ways to be able to stay in the house that Mike and I shared (some ask if that is difficult, as if is his ghost here) but truly I miss him more in the things we did together outside these 4 walls, maybe as when we were home, I was always too busy?<BR/><BR/>I had hoped to have annual reunions with his/our friends to reminisce, but that hasn't happened, people get busy. <BR/><BR/>But yesterday, I met with a friend who I had a falling out with before Mike died and for two years never heard from her, til she got my email letting everyone know he had died. Then she got back in contact with me briefly. We went to lunch and talked and talked about life, Mike and what the future might hold. That felt good and another sort of closure for me. <BR/><BR/>I also had a friend come in today and do some painting and repairs and I was banished to the basement for a while...so I began making headway on cleaning it up, moving stuff into the attic. Still a ways to go, but a step forward!Teri and her Stylish Adventure Cats https://www.blogger.com/profile/00995773243323674858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426749039913631460.post-11240040794177620042009-04-05T15:45:00.000-06:002009-04-05T15:45:00.000-06:00The process of letting go seems so long.

I don't know how I would have recovered from what you went through but that you did speaks more of you than anything else.<BR/><BR/>MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426749039913631460.post-43624797887426087302009-04-05T15:44:00.000-06:002009-04-05T15:44:00.000-06:00It's amazing what you discover about yourself when...It's amazing what you discover about yourself when you go over old ground, isn't it? I look back on some of the times in my life and wonder why I am not sitting in a corner somewhere sucking my thumb.
