Don Wood Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Well, I hit another downer. I have received several Christmas cards addressed to "Mr. & Mrs." and I had to sit down and write them the news of Lucie's death. They were just out of the loop and did not know.

Ann Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Don, I remember how hard that was for me. I'm still having trouble not signing Dennis' name on the cards I send out. Just grab on to this "support rope" and hold on tight. I've been hanging on so tightly today that my hands are blistered...but I'm still hanging in here!!!!

Patkid Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Brian died New Year's Day this year. I am getting cards to both of us, as well. Don, I think that you and Lucy are still a unit, a pair, an entity. I think Brian and I are, too. I am trying to rejoice in that and be thankful for friends, both close and not so close. The worst is running into someone in a public place who has not heard that Brian died. Usually goes something like this: "(Loud voice) Pat!!!, hello, how ARE you? We miss seeing you and Brian at...............(fill in the blank)", I am so glad to see you..................would you and Brian like to get together (or substitute any other something)........then the awkward, public moment of filling them in, their reaction and my renewed sadness. I have become too much of a recluse and too introverted ......... I am working on that. Meanwhile, Relish that you and Lucy will forever be Mr. and Mrs. Don Wood. No matter what the future on earth holds for you. You and Lucy will always BE. Love Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jana_W Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Oh Don, big hugs to you. I saw how hard that sort of thing was for Dad. Having said that I think it was just as hard to receive things just addressed to himself as well. We're all here for you. Jana x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
