Good morning DML, Mary and family….
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2025.
As I went to bed last night, I became upset thinking this would be my first Christmas alone. My best friend, other half, husband suddenly went to Heaven 11/18/2020. The day before his funeral, I was on my way to my friends house as we were finalizing things for service next day and get a call from medical staff. My brother, Tim had a mild stroke and was in facility getting therapy. Therapists stated when visiting he would be home by March/April of 2021. He was improving and doing well. A person on the other end of phone proceeded to tell me my brother was having a medical emergency. They would call me back with details. His son, Stephen was Senior in high school and since father’s stroke was staying with Bruce and I. He was accompanying me that my bring to my friends house. The schools set up each student with laptop and did homework from home due to Covid. Before I arrived at friends house my mobile rang and medical staff informed me my Brother, Tim had eaten breakfast, choked on strawberries and went into cardiac arrest. He went to Heaven that morning of the 23rd. I had pulled over. I had to get outside of suv as I couldn’t breathe. I stood against vehicle and so many things was running through my head. Mainly, how am I going to tell Steven his father had passed away?
They were very close. He had lost his Mom at 6 years old as she died in her sleep. I Steven jumped out and asked what was going on? I couldn’t sugarcoat the news. When I told him, he got upset, jumped a fence into a field and fell to his knees screaming. It was tough getting through the rest of day. We gathered ourselves together and arrived at friends house with awful news. We finalized things for visitation and funeral for the next day. I will have to say, that night I realized I had changed forever. My brother and I were very close. In January 2021, my dog Kato was grieving Bruce not coming home. He was 17 years old and went over the rainbow bridge on the 21st. In May 2021, Steven graduated and moved to West TN. to live with his cousins (preplanned) whom had a home and there was accommodations for him. My home went from busy, busy, full of love, laughter, vacations, fun times and planning to a lonely, quiet place. I shed 3 oceans of tears. I have joined groups, have friends whom to talk to, speak with other widows about daily days and how to cope. I feel half of me is gone. Things I used to love I don’t get into these days. People, friends, neighbors and family change. It’s shocking on so many levels. This will be the 5th Christmas with my husband. He loved decorating outside. He loved giving and helping through the season. He always loved outing a train around our tree. I haven’t decorated. I can’t find the enthusiasm to do so.
I feel empty. I’m alive, but my life is so different and try to live each day the best I can. I cling to God. He has been my life-raft. I still cry, but embrace the time I was given with Bruce and cherish our memories.
2024 has been a financial strain for me. I have been worried more now than ever in my life about our country and who is suppose to be leading it. The economy is at its worst, same with leadership and decisions made. The election gave me hope and look forward to what Trump can do in 2025 and beyond. It’s the same kind of feeling I got in 2015. Back then, I had my loving family, husband and doggie, circle of friends and neighbors. I found you on a walk and talk giving your listeners hope.
I feel I am at a breaking point. Major things must change in this country. Everything has gone up and is so costly. My town used to be peaceful and quiet. Now, crime up, abundant wrecks in this town. When you drive you must be extremely careful, breakins, theft, drugs. Sirens are heard more frequently.
Last month, a homeless guy broke into my home while I was home. I called 911 and they arrested him. They showed up just in time before he could harm me or do something horrible. The front door is still pending to be fixed as all locks broken. I have baracaded it to secure it somewhat. Companies whom can fix this issue have clients they are finishing up with and just got estimates on cost to repair. Another cost I can’t afford to add to my stress.
As I woke this morning, I thought about what I could do to get me through the next few days. My plans changed as a friend had to cancel plans. I didn’t have back up plans as I do good these days just planning.
I grabbed my phone, looked at notifications, read a few newsworthy articles and found your podcast Wine and Talk. I made coffee and immediately started viewing and listening. I was happy to see you and Mary sitting together and discussing many topics. I laughed Dennis. Some of the topics were funny. Thanks for that. I also want to say, give Mary a big hug. Appreciate your family, wife, doggie and all you have because in a blink of an eye, all can be taken away and disappear. I went from outgoing, loving, full of life person to someone I half recognize, but trying hard to get her back. I feel I will never get over losing everything that meant so much to me, but I will get through it. Somehow, with God leading me I will get through each day.
God Bless you and your family for all you do. You all do make a difference.
