You and Mav are one of my bright spots Little Bit. :) :kiss:

I am so tickled for the two of you. I am hopeful for your future.

And, I am so damned proud of you, Little Bit. You got more guts than someone twice your size. It is an honor for me to know you.

I was not bullshitting when I included you in a fantasy that opened with the statement... "If I had a daughter."


Good morning Little Bit. :) :kiss:

Hey, you are a bright spot in our lives, as well.

That is why we kinda rag you about the sittin around. We're concerned. :D

Maybe you will find a different outlook at some point. Not being in your position I cannot say it will work but try not to look at new stuff as a substitute for something you would have done with Annie but like something you would have done by yourself even if she were with you. I would assume that both of you had some separate interests? And yes I know you can't come home and share it with her afterwards, but...............

I think you should try at some point. Maybe there will be benefits for you and the people you could interact with. You have a lot to offer and so do lots of people out there.

I am delighted to include you in the group of people I call friends. :cool:

Aha... well I will take you. Blunt is okay, I've been getting a lot of it lately.

But what you propose is spooky business for me. And frankly, too much work, specially when at the absolute very pinacle of the best, the result would be a consolation prize, second best - and far, far short of the mark.

You may argue that I don't know that.

I would argue that neither do you.

And what if I am wrong, and you are right. There is something out there that will be just dandy and I will be so glad that I am there. Then that puts me in the position of celebrating Anne's death.

"I sure am glad my wife died, or I wouldn't have had a chance to meet you/do this/try that supply your own whatever." I consider any good thing from this point to be some sort of justification of her death and I don't want to be a part of ever thinking that or actually saying that.

And the more uncharitable would contend that I am either hiding, or being lazy. No arguement there. I would agree. Probably because what ever is "out there" has no value to me, and is not worth the effort of finding a clean shirt, let alone getting a shave.

And you would contend that I don't know that.

And I would contend that neither do you.

A trout...

(this may be fish in general, I don't know. I have only studied trout.)

has an amazing calculator in it's limited brain. It can immediately guage whether a piece of food floating by in or on the water has more energy in it than the trout will have to expend to get it. That is why grasshoppers, and worms are so successful with them. Land types of creatures have more potential energy in them than aquatic bugs.

I don't have a calculator in me that works like that. I can't know if a circumstance warrants the effort except in an autopsy of the circumstance. Was this worth the effort?

I can't tell from here. But now I do have one advantage. I have history. I have experience. I know that what ever is there will not replace what I lost. Now it is left to me to decide, "do I want to expend this effort to get a booby prize?"

Thus far the decision is "No."

Okay, your blunt...

:) :kiss:



I am not arguing with you. All I'm saying is that I am disappointed in you.
Surely you are not the only one hurting. Your children lost a mother and your grandchildren a grandmother. I can almost see you retorting that it's not the same thing, that they have their own lives to live for... but so do you, only you refuse to live your life.

When we were vacationing in Pelion, the hotel was very small and had only one chambermaid, a lady mid fifties, always dressed in black. We all knew her by first name and exchanged a few friendly words now and then.
One day she was asking about the girls, I asked her about her family, she said "We are left with one son, he's 27 and soon to be engaged to a girl he's in love with" She saw the question in my eyes and went on "We had another son, he was killed in a road accident last year at age 23. My husband has a weak heart, he almost died from grief. It's a good thing our eldest is being engaged, then they'll get married, then maybe a couple of babies... we all need some joy in our family, especially my husband".

She said all that very simply, no drama, but I was stricken by the look in her eyes.... for a few seconds she had stared into space and her eyes reflected the deepest grief anybody can ever meet with.... losing a child.
Still, this simple village woman had somehow managed to pick up the pieces and move on and focus on the rest of the family. Who would have blamed her if she had chosen to take to her bed and spend the rest of her life wailing and screaming about her loss? But she didn't. She opted to move on and fight for the good things that life still had in store for her and her family.
I was filled with admiration for her.

I wish you'd pull your socks up and fight for the good things that life has in store for you.
You say "...But now I do have one advantage. I have history. I have experience. I know that what ever is there will not replace what I lost...." No, of course it won't. Persons cannot be replaced like car spare parts. Your statement is presumptous and arrogant.
"...I know..." No, you DON'T know. Nobody does. Period.

The one thing that I am truely sorry for and that embarasses me the most, makes me want to tuck into a dark corner and not come out again is the fact that I know I am proving to be a disappointment to you all. And to you especially.

I can understand it all except this last...

It is there that I blanch, my head shakes and my eyes clear for a second...
To what end? Why? I had the life I wanted. Now I must chose the lighter moments of an inferior one?

My jaw sets at the thought of this... Sorry Macx, this is all we have available at the moment - grin and bare it son... make us proud.

So I have become petulant and selfish. I detest that. But to roll over like a puppy and ask to be kicked again goes against my grain...

And, I would maintain that there is no good thing in store for me - least of all something worth fighting for.

It goes against mine too, but there is a difference between me and you.

YOU are the one kicking yourself!!

You are sitting at home in pity for yourself and everytime you start to feel like enjoying yourself you kick yourself for feeling that way.

So listen to a crusty old dragon for a second.......DOn't spend all your time worrying about everything and keeping to yourself or you'll end up like the one thing in life that nobod should ever be........ME.

well, I once had the body I wanted...

the passionate love affairs I wanted....

the free time to do all I chose to do that I wanted....

the carefree years I wanted...

and I don't have them any more

am I living an inferior life? no I'm not

my life is different, but not inferior

:rose: :kiss:

But, for me... any life from here will be without Anne.

How many more beaches will I stand on and wish that she was with me?

I am on the verge of enumerating the list, I will save you that.

I will continue. But it will suck. And I will be a dissappointment to many, I suppose. But to accept anything as a replacement and condone it, and to say it is good... is, in my mind, the same thing as saying I am glad she is dead.

Nope, don't think I was

That looks like it was set firmly in the 70's....I wasn't even a gleam in my mother's eye for several years yet. :D


At least you were spared the fashions of the 70ies *shudder* :D

Ok, my spouse is back and very hungry... gotta heat up something for him to stuff his face with :p
