Hi Cuties, I just wanted to stop in and tell you all hello and thank you again for all your support and prayers. Benny has been gone now for 5 months, and it has been tough. I'm visiting my Mom and Dad in Indiana now. It feels good to be here as I can them, and there is nothing like a Mom and Dad hug. My daughter and granddaughter were able to go visit Brown County state park, and that was especially nice. I am doing a little better every day, and really appreciate all your prayers and concern! I'm missing my sewing/embroidery machine, and when I get home, I'm going to dust it off and really get busy <3 Hugs to everyone, Jan

Jan, I am so happy you have a chance to visit your folks - I am sure it helps both you and them!! Every day is probably like a climb up a huge hill - but, that hill will begin to get less steep. Going back to sewing and embroidery is a good step for you!! Loads of hugs, Laura*
96277Glad you are able to visit with family. Of course Ben will always be a huge part of your life, both in heart & memory. You're doing good moving along...hang in there & know there are prayers being said for you & your family! How's your hubby doing? I hope he's doing ok too.

I know the hurt and I also know in time it will be more bearable. I can say this for I too, have buried a husband. God Bless and keep you Jan, stay as busy as you can/Lillian

109774Sounds like you are taking good care of yourself. As my friend Sheila would say to me, why you're just a baby at being a widow. It will get better! Glad you want to sew again, could be a big part of the "therapy." (My therapies were Wheelbarrow Therapy and Steinway Therapy, neither inexpensive!)

360646On the minds, in the hearts and prayers of all on here. As you know know there is nothing like a Mother's or a Dad's hug to help you through. I hope you can absorb all you need and just relax being theirs while you are there. Take care 'ASAP along with FROG' to you. :-)
