- Hey there David ... Great hearing from you. Firstly, how are YOU doing?
Things are slightly better than last year when Ernie passed away, but I miss him so much and probably always will. I am seeing mostly girlfriends even though I have been asked out by a 41 year old single man who is a neighbor and I had to laugh and told him I was old enough to be his mother; keeping busy in the garden; fixing things inside/outside of the house so I just slump into bed dead beat. Time does heal and I'm blessed with good friends such as you and others on this forum and also friends and neighbors here. Already people are trying to get me to date again (who may I ask? LOL) It is much harder for women to meet men I think, but, I'm not ready for that right now.
I have one more mountain to climb (I hope.) I am having surgery August 10th and scared to death! They say that often long-term caregivers often get ill themselves once their loved one passes. I have my small family (no children) but my brother and his family and many friends here for support and they are almost as anxious as I am over the surgery. The tough thing about it is I am going to the same hospital I use to visit Ernie in for so long and where he was dying and even when I went for pre-op I felt I was living that nightmare all over again. I almost felt for awhile I could go to the second floor of that hospital and see Ernie there and then I came back to reality. I think this is all part of my anxiousness about the surgery and the misery poor Ernie went through although my problem (female problems) is not near what he had to go through with his pancreatic/liver cancer. I pray every single night I will be OK and that I will have some sort of a future with some happiness. Seems like many on here I have been climbing one mountain after the other and I'm getting soul weary.
Still, I do keep busy. My two dogs are a delight to have around and I see my family and friends quite often. It gives me pleasure to work in the garden and see what I've planted grow. Right now we are going through a heat wave and although it is not as hot as Toronto we go from about 55 - 60 degrees to well over 90 in less then 24 hours and not a breeze to be had. It is too hard on people to take that sudden heat, so on Saturday I didn't even venture outside and stayed in my air-conditioned house. Later watered the gardens and let the dogs have a run outside as it was too hot to take them to the dyke. Tomorrow is suppose to be the same heat with high humidity and then it will start to taper off to more reasonable temperatures. Thank the good Lord!
Hope you are having a great weekend my friend.
Hugs
Marcy

Of course I wouldn't forget you and think of you often as you have kindly encouraged me through some very rough moments since my Ernie's passing even though you were going through tough times yourself and that means a lot to me. Just wanted to be sure things were going a little better for you.
Hugs

Hi David ...
Haven't been on the forum for a long while because I have been so busy doing things to the house; gardening; seeng friends more. You have been a dear to me in the past and encouraged me so much even though you were going through emotional pain yourself so just wanted to stop in to see how you were doing.
Hugs (just in case you need it)
