Two Years Today

Brewers and Brewerettes...

I don't know what happened to my post to my own thread earlier today, but it is not showing up, so I'll start another thread.

I was doing quite well this morning, until I decided to hang Christmas stockings. Today is the second anniversary of my dear wife, Marie's death. I went to my cellar and hauled up the stockings, and when I found hers, the tears started. The stockings are all lovingly hand-knitted by Marie, and the four girls have their names on the top. Hers and mine say, "Mommy" and "Daddy." And she even did one for the first son-in-law. Seeing the love that she put into such simple things as Christmas stockings made me miss her all that much more today.

The grief and pain will always be there, but the passage of time has given me ways to deal with that grief and pain...most of the time! So, I can still say A BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL HERE AT HBT!

I'm sorry for your loss and hope 2018 brings some peace of mind.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your wife. I almost lost my wife to cancer last year and did lose my father to the cumulative effects of Alzheimer's and a massive stroke.

Dying is part of living, but, it's the last part, and that makes it very difficult to deal with. I, too, hope the coming year brings you peace.
