Nadene Margaret Augenblick

[arrow]

the headstone finally got placed, and I went to visit today.
Not easy.
Even seven months later, there isn't a day I don't miss her.
I put my hands on top of that headstone and just said goodbye again.
Maybe I should get like my older friend whose wife is buried next to Nadene, and he
comes and says hello, not goodbye.
I'll work on that.

I'm about to buy a small farm in another state and I think time and moving will make everything come out just fine.
We all have a time on this Earth and I don't want to waste mine.
I've got an orchard to plant and I'm sure I'll name one tree Nadene.

Peace.

I just saw this Drew. My heart felt condolences and wish your pain to be eventually replaced with good memories.

thanks Lou. I'm doing better, but I'm not "myself" yet. May never be again.
So be it, the new me.
after 31 hospital visits over a week long, there are some memories I hope I forget.
But Nadene will never leave my heart. She's got a very long term parking space there...

An old friend's wife was diagnosed with uterine cancer two weeks ago and passed away yesterday.
So the alternative isn't so wonderful either, but we don't get to pick.

it's what we make of what we have that matters.
