Topic: Bear With Me Please

    Sorry folks, but I just went to http://www2.mem.com/ContentDisplay.aspx?ID=14194607 like I do on nearly every day (at least once or twice a day) but, this time I read through each and every message posted there (also, like I do quite often0 and i am very depressed at the moment. But at the same time, I am so very grateful to see those messages and knowing that MOST of them were from some of you all, makes them very special to me. Even thought nit STILL seems so unreal that Brenda's not here with me, I am getting to where I can at least start to function. There are several sayings that I have heard all of my life and they never really sunk in like they should have. The two that I can think of right off are, "You Never Know What Tomorrow Will Bring" and "Life Is Short, So MAke The Best Of What Little Time You Have". These may not be worded exactly like I heard them, but you get the idea. Like a lot of folks, I thought, Yeah, you just never know" but, I Really DIDN'T KNOW, I just thought I did. But the event that happened on July 1st REALLY opened my eyes. Oh, I'm doing my best to get my act together and move on with taking care of my Dad and my Daughter, but I'm ALSO trying to take better care of myself as well. With ALL the goings on of everyday life, sometimes we kinda lose sight of what's really important, or maybe maybe we kinda take for granted that there is going to be another day after this one and so on. Of course, we can't just dwell on the fact that, at any given moment, we could lose a loved on or one of us could be the next one to meet our maker. We'd go nuts if we were to dwell on that. We just have to do the best we can and Pray that are as ready as wecan be, when our time comes.

           Hope you'll overlook me, I just suddenly felt the need to ramble on, so it seems.  Thank you for the time AND the place to do this, it ALL helps,  Bill

    Thanks guys, I feel better this Am, even though I could stand some more sleep. I AM managing to make some headway around here though. I might as well get used to the fact that I am probably going to be having these feelings nearly everyday (if NOT EVERY day) and still get (at least SOMEWHAT) on with my life. I know that she'd want that, but I'm sure that she'd realize that I would be having to deal with my emotioins for some time to come, as well. They say that "Time heals ALL wounds, but I suspect that this one will heal only up to a point.

    Well, need to get around, my Day still starts early, even though James has decided to cause disruption by staying away and causing disruptions. His disruptions, with MY life, are going to be short lived. I'm getting ready to cut the ties with THAT one.
