Yes I’m coping better each day it seems
I have the dreaded DMV appointment behind me
I have my plumbing super issue taken care of- thanks to the awesome generosity of two sweet families I know!
There have been many kindnesses- too many to count- yes I have definitely been blessed with support and care
I knew Frank did a lot but I never quite realized just how much- the depth that I depended on him- and yes there are things I would suggest to others to be sure and do differently but mostly I don’t regret how much I relied on Frank
He was my best friend- we both were never happier or more content than when we had time together- honestly we were rarely social with others- mainly because our alone time was scarce
I’ve adjusted to spending my mornings without him and me having a cup of coffee together- praying together and watching some of the days news-I even miss Frank speaking loudly back at the tv about the absurdities he disagreed with!
I’m handling new things and feelings every day- some in stride- most in kinda a terror—but with God I’m doing it
My kids are a great encouragement of course- and I really want to be there for them also
So all in all I’m thankful and maybe on a good day- hopeful
I’m even getting a handle on the toilet handle- just how to jiggle it to make it stop running- but occasionally I have to admit to having to take the back off the tank and handle it that way— still progress
Another blog I use to follow her husband was a few years older than her so he made her learn a whole bunch of things in preparation if he passed before her. Wise I believe. I need to learn to pump gas otherwise I think I am pretty self sufficient.
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard to do the routines you used to do together by yourself these days.

Yeah I’m still getting Robyn to pump the gas!!🤣
DeleteA good plumber is a wonderful thing no matter how good your toilet handle jiggling is.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you had a good marriage. Neither of you knew where one began and the other stopped. It is a wonderful thing you had. Even better than a dependable plumber. Take care.
Yes we honestly did have a good marriage- I find myself romanizing it so much these days- thank you ❤️
