Mike couldn’t possibly have asked for a more loving and caring wife. I know you were more than just a happy couple - you were best friends. Though you’ve been busy juggling so many tasks at once, soon you’ll feel more comfortable as the “adult in charge.” And your children & grandchildren will love and support you every step of the way. ��Empty Nest Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074223969046687064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-50881792341435371662020-08-18T22:10:19.802-04:002020-08-18T22:10:19.802-04:00Thanks, sweetie.

I truly appreciate them. To tell the truth, I dunno if I'll ever return to being the "old" old me. I feel like I'm being forced to grow up and create a "new" old me. Being a caretaker without someone to take care of may make me more independent. Or scare the crap out of me. Right now, it's a toss-up. :)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-90704398589670859512020-08-17T00:07:25.686-04:002020-08-17T00:07:25.686-04:00Too bad none of those vehicles are boats. :)Too bad none of those vehicles are boats. :)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-557071027591105592020-08-16T23:33:45.710-04:002020-08-16T23:33:45.710-04:00Well put.

Yes, that sinking gut-punch realization that they aren't beside us... or in the next room... is the worst. I'm afraid those moments will haunt us for the rest of our lives. Hang in there.
