Good Morning SECRET PALS

there is an update on Bert's condition let me repost it here:

http://mingle2.com/topic/show/223186

Patti and Liz I am glad to hear Paul (Bert) is talking to you two. Was getting worried. I am his secret pal for May and have sent out a package and a get well card also. I am fixing up another package and sending it out the first of the week. Sending him all my well wishes for a speedy recovery and that all goes well for him.

Happy, wonderful, terrific, great Friday to all my beloved friends on here. You guys are the best group of people I think I have run across. I want you all to know how much you mean to me. Thank you all who email me personally and wish me well wishes. One never knows what kind of day someone is having and an getting an email just saying hello and they miss seeing them or look forward to their posts is such an uplifting gift in itself. I hope and pray that all of you have a wonderuful weekend. I am rarely on when the weekend rolls around because I spend every moment with my two daughters and my honey bunches of O's! He loves me sooooo much. I love him too. Question for you though. I was in the shower this morning shaving my legs and I thought I don't know if I can love anyone as much as I loved my husband. What does that mean about my current relationship? Sorry for the book just some things on my mind. If we were all in one state (somewhere nice and sunny) we all could get together for lunch and discuss our issues. So I am bringing this one to the table. Feedback welcomed. Sherry HUGS AND SMOOCHES TO YOU ALL!

Maybe it's not about quantity of love (how much) but about the unique quality of every love? It might be just as valid, just as intense, but always just a little different...and remember, you aren't that long past the loss of your husband, so you may not be completely ready to let a new love in - maybe even have some loyalty issues on some level. I'm sure not an expert, but I think you should just follow whatever path you are on and see where it ends up...you might just be pleasantly surprised!

Hugs for you!

Thank you very much. Most know on here that we had been seperated for the past two years due to his drug use. I won't tolerate any of that. He was a prison guard and cracked is all I can figure. I KNOW he was the love of my life. I do have major loyalty issues lying there. I can feel his presence around daily. I don't feel he is unhappy with who I am seeing I think he kind of guided me in his direction actually. Jeff knew I didn't want anyone who smokes, does drugs, has children, and had been married. NOW that is a lot to ask for when dating someone at the age of 40. Well this guy just emails me and he meets all of my expectations. Strange, right?

Moring Pals

Just stopping in for a few to say hello and to tell everyone to have a great day!!

Well did my good deed for the day took cupcakes to Kaitlynn's(granddaughter) school for her class today and found out 10 of the kids in her class had not paid their $2 for the pizza party today so donated $20 so the whole class could have pizza along with their cupcakes.

May you all have a beautiful day!

Sherry, I think this sums up my thoughts as well. Your question made me examine the love I once felt for each of my 2 husbands and I did love them differently, not one more than the other, just differently.

When you love someone so deeply it is a everlasting love and remains even after the person has passed on. At times we tend to put that love on a pedestal no longer seeing any flaws it may have had. And when it involves the father/mother of our children that love is a daily reminder as well.

It takes time but within time one must finally make room for new loves as well. You will always love him for the time ya'll had and the children that remain.

Within time you will see that that same scale of love can be found with another as well. It will not mean your love for him is any less just that you can love another just as much.


Okay off to clean

Those 10 kids know they are the reason, for whatever reason, the class may not have had pizza...that's a tough burden to bear when you're a kid. I remember in 5th grade the teacher wanted our class to be the one out of the whole school that had 100% parent participation in PTA. I can't remember the fee, but we couldn't afford it, so in the end my folks were the ones who kept us from having 100% participation. No one else knew it except the teacher, but I knew and I felt like everyone else did too. So, ya see, this one small deed you did today might have a lifetime effect on one or some of those kids.

Stormin' here again today, severe stuff expected later this evening, so I probably won't be around much. Hope everyone has a great day!

((ROBIN)) TAKE CARE STAY SAFE

ILL KEEP GOOD THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY

((((Paul))))

I can attest to this........my first husband passed away when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. My love for him has never died and as far as my children are concerned that man will always be on a pedestal. But that didn't stop me from finding love again and making room in my heart or my life for my second husband

Thank you all for your kind words on the subject I brought up earlier. You answers were very enlightening to me. Robin I think you said it when you said you loved both of your husband but different love for both. My youngest daughter looks so much like my husband not just physical but in the way she stands, her feet, the way she perceives things. Sometimes it is hard not to just stare at her. I know she feels this because everyone tells her, "You are so much like your daddy, you even walk like him." She is coping with it but it has to be hard to look in the mirror and see her dad looking back at her. She has a lot of issues she is working through about his death.
