cecdoo Posted April 22, 2008 #26 Posted April 22, 2008 Hi Gary, I enjoyed hearing about your day, I am sure your wife is looking down on you, and I believe she would be happy to see you happy again. All the best to you, take it one day at a time. Craig
ibents Posted April 22, 2008 #27 Posted April 22, 2008 I as sit here thinking about what to impart to you, a thought came to my mind: Now this is not necessarily a real good thought and often I speak my mind before I think it through, but it's still has a good ring to it, so I'm going to share it with you. The first part will be the hard part, but hopefully the last part will be helpful. If Leslie were still here with us, but instead of being healthy and ready to go with you all the time she was bedridden and unable to help out. Knowing the person that she was, what would she say to you on such a beautiful day????? She would have told you to leave her alone, and go out and enjoy, work on your bike, clean it up, and take the day and go for a ride. Well she's not here, so she can't tell you that, maybe that's why I had to think of it. She's not bedridden and sick anymore. She's beyond that, but her memory is here, and I bet you can also hear her speak at times. Her words would be: I know you loved me as I loved you, and I don't want you to forget me, because what we had was awesome, but because I loved you I want you to continue on with life and live it to the fullest. Because you loved me so much, you will miss me, enjoy the memories, look back on them fondly, but a new part of life lies ahead of you, enjoy that as well. Don't be feeling bad about the fact that I can't join you and be there with you, it will be different, the past cannot be undone, but the future will be shaped by how you live today. Don't worry about the day of tomorrow, for today has enough worries of it's own (Jesus) Carl I think Carl said it all. I never had the privilege to meet Leslie and judging by all the comments I've read over the last few months she was a terrific woman and loved by everyone that met her. I'm glad that you are starting to get some semblance of your life back together again. God Bless Ian
