Thanks for the nice family picture, Kay. Hubby looks very distinguished with the beard. Is your grand daughter married now?

Holly, your kind words brought tears to my eyes. My wonderful father was only 46 when he passed away. I miss him to this day. Actually, my sister is a duplicate of him...has his dark coloring and hair, and Italian nose.

It saddens me to think she could still be alive if she had not taken up drinking and smoking she passed away at 61 , her two sisters are still alive one not so good due to Dementia she is 88 the other is fine at 87
 
We are all different, but we are so much alike. Pictures of strangers, but every one familiar to me. I guess I am still hung over from losing Eleanor. This thread made me cry. Dammit! I miss my life. Pappy, thanks for sending me here. You post great stuff.
 
Oh Underock (((((hugs))))...Eleanor has only just left but a moment ago...you're so raw with grief still, you're left with a big hole in your heart where Eleanor had been for almost 60 years..cry when you need to..cry for your past life , cry for your loving wife , but rejoice that you're still here to enjoy new experiences ..Eleanor will always be in your heart. and in your memory , that can never be taken from you, and I have the greatest admiration for how you've coped by coming on here and making some new friends...and if we can make you smile amidst your sorrow even for a minute then it's all worth it.

Holly, you're killing me here, but thank you so much. I feel guilty when I don't cry for a day or two. I'm not as bad off as I seem. I just have to drain it off once in a while. I read once that it takes five years to get over the loss of a spouse for every one you were married. Aside from the fact that I think that is pure hokum, what chance would I have? I'm doing O.K. here. Thanks for taking the time to empathize, and the hugs.
 
She looks nice, Josiah. Did you know her back then? I just looked at your profile. Both of your favorite TV shows were a Sunday night tradition for us. I used to "tickle", actually scratch and rub, Eleanor's back while we watched for an hour. We must have gone through both entire series at least four times over the years. My favorite lines: From "Appearances"; Onslo to man at door: "Jewelry". From "As Time Goes By": Lionel to Jean: "Its not about a few wrinkles or a pound or two, its who you are."
