Yeah, I'm still in WA at my daughter's and she's working. Maybe we will go out to dinner or something. She suggested maybe I have myself a little burning ceremony, etc., but since I'm not at home, I don't really have anything handy to set on fire. LOL. Think I'll head to the pool until she gets off.

One year ago we were getting on a cruise ship to Jamaica. Everyone kept telling me how lucky I was b/c H was so obviously in love with me and didn't mind showing it.

AND we were planning for his birthday. When I turned 50, he threw a party to end all parties at our lake house. Invited everyone that's important to me, childhood friends, college friends, teaching friends, and put many of them up for overnight visit. It was the happiest weekend. And I was so looking forward to giving back to him that kind of experience.

My daughter just sent me this in a text-
"This is anything but easy, but you are anything but weak."

She's a keeper. smile
