Don Wood Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Today, March 15, is Lucie's birthday. She would have been 70, and I really thought she would live to see it. I did not want to dine alone tonight, so I invited family to join me for dinner out. My daughter, my older son and his wife and my granddaughter joined me. We all shared stories about Lucie and enjoyed the company and food. It was a good thing to do for me, and hopefully them as well.

Snowflake Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Don, You are such a wise man. Spending dinner alone would have been unbearable. Having dinner with Lucie's and your kids probably left your heart a bit lighter and that time between dessert and sleep a bit less painful.

Hopefully spending some quality time with your children helped lighten you heart just a bit. I'm just so saddened that Lucie did not make this milestone in person and had to attend in spirit only. You are a remarkable guy, Don. Love, Kasey and Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaze100 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Don, It must be very hard to be separate from someone you've loved for 47 years. But we have to believe we will all be together again someday. And we will have so much to tell each other. I look to that day when I will be reunited with my Mom.
