What an adorable little bear! I think it needs a HUG also! Barb, You are in my thought and prayers today also. Life alone is no picnic but you have survived the worst of it and you will go on to get better and better as time passes. You have your very own guardian angel and I am sure that He would want you to be happy and just remember the good, great and the wonderful times instead of dwelling on anything else. All of our times will come when the Lord calls us home, at His own time, and until then just keep the good times in mind and in your heart. You are lucky to have the good times to remember! I am alone by my own hand and there were not very many good times. I am not bitter, just trueful. I am not usually an unhappy person but as I have aged and the physical pain has taken over my body(severe arthritis)and my son got married, I do have times of depression that I have to work through. Be happy! If you aren't then find a way to make yourself happy! Surround yourself with wonderful friends that love you and care about you; the kind that you can enjoy being around and and going places and doing things with as often as possible! I ddo not feel like getting out and doing things anymore but my 2 little Pekingese are a world of fun to have around. Sometimes they are all I come in contact for weeks at the time(except for the DR I see 2 times a week for my legs). Pets are wonderful company and they can not pee on the toilet seat or leave it up for you to take that sinking feeling in the middle of the night when you "go" in the dark! heehee Hold you good memories close to your heart but let the others go! You have alot of great friends that care alot about you! Love and hugs to you today and every day that you need another Hug!

Barb, big hug, thinking of you on this day.
