A day for reflection

[300rag]

For the first time in 41 years, September 1 has become a day for reflection instead of a celebration. Today is the hardest day of the last year. Holidays, birthdays, and the scattering of ashes have all been tough, but this wedding anniversary is the worst yet, only to be followed in two weeks with the anniversary of her passing. I am thankful for all the things she brought to my life and wouldn't change a thing if I could. For all you out there with that best friend and soul-mate, don't ever take her (or him) for granted. Thanks for listening.

You are so right. It's important to empathize, share and listen regarding the things that matter to her. Realize there is more to life that work and bills.

My thoughts will be with you Pete, hang in there and do some things to keep yourself happy through your time of reflection.

Just remember to live your life how she would want you to and never forget the good times you had with her.

My thoughts are with you... and I will give Mrs. Big John an extra hug.

Good points, I have gotten much better at caring for my wife........perhaps I was single for too long or just stubborn. One of the qualities I loved to so much about the man my oldest son is named after - well, my wife has that same quality but for some reason it bothers me now. Why? Not sure, but I am sure the problem isn't in her, it's in me.

Keep focusing on all the good times you had and how lucky your were to have spent your lives together. Most people do not have that, lives are often broken by internal strife, divorce, etc.
