I love this part of the story. I remember so clearly when my Ron was dying him telling me I want you to promise that in time you will find someone else to love. You’re too young to be alone. I said I couldn’t promise. He smiled at me and said I will send you someone. Fast forward two years later. My son’s girlfriend at the time kept saying I want you to meet my dad. I told her I didn’t want to meet her dad or anyone else’s dad. A few weeks later she invited me to her birthday celebration and I meet Mel. His beautiful eyes, kind spirit and easy nature drew me in. Two years after our first date we were married and will celebrate 27 years this month. Ron’s mother Jo loved Mel and he her.. It was sign that Ron had put Mel in my path. I remember thinking that Ron would tell is clients that life is for the living.
Sue, I appreciate how you incorporate your inner conversation with your friend, keeping her alive and present in your life. Thank you for sharing these snippets into your life.
Thank you, Paulette. I tend to talk often to my loved ones who have passed. It keeps them with me, as I can hear exactly what they would say back. Thanks for reading and commenting! I appreciate your support. 💚
My brother in law remarried , many years after my sister died. He invited me and my siblings to their wedding , which I thought was very generous. It was a joyous affair and his Bride was and is wonderful. My Sister would have approved and loved this as well.
Thanks for this sharing your story , that brought back happy memories for me💝
This story is beautiful. After my MOM passed a lot of people around us had trouble accepting when my dad met a new lady friend who he had known for 30 years and I kind of think my mother had in her way "set up" because she knew she was ill and going to die... I accepted it immediately because I felt I had to because I wanted my dad to be happy. I loved my mother very much but I think she would be very well happy to see my dad with that "glint in his eye" again. He was with my mother for 45 years before she got sick and inevitably passed away. I love my mother very much and always will. I miss her dearly but I go on with knowing my Dad is having fun and doing his best and laughing and smiling and going to concerts as much as he can and enjoying his golden years and I know, I know he misses my MOM and will never ever forget her-- just like me. ♥️💕♥️ (this story brought instant tears to my eyes, you have a beautiful way with words, thank you for sharing) ❤️
Thank you, Laura, for your kind words. They mean a lot to me. I'm glad to hear your father has found a lovely partner and that you are at peace with that! Perfect! 💚
