That made me laugh. Not only would he fix things around the house, he'd be a good cook and decorator. <br /><br />I'm sorry your loss that brought you to my blog but I thank you for reading and chiming in.<br /><br />P.S. My brother now has two lady friends he pals around with. :) Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-19886613390572522162018-10-06T16:25:46.490-04:002018-10-06T16:25:46.490-04:00Hi--I've been reading through some of your pos...Hi--I've been reading through some of your posts and enjoying them. My husband passed away three months ago. We were a week away from our 42nd anniversary (second marriage for both of us.) I particularly liked where you mentioned your brother's experience here. My brother-in-law lost his wife about two years after she went through a double lung transplant. He had been her devoted TexasTrailerParkTrashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299289643138589897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-3159938975152063502013-01-14T18:58:14.409-05:002013-01-14T18:58:14.409-05:00Thanks gowithflow.

I'm glad you're sharing your journey with us. It's great to know that humor can live alongside grief. Might not stomp that grief out, but it puts misery out of its business.GowitheFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842273685414939160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-50181978381192016132013-01-13T19:14:21.747-05:002013-01-13T19:14:21.747-05:00Thank you both for the comments.
