Please know that while you may be a widow here in this life, you won't be in eternity. As Joyce said, I'm not married either, so while I can't totally feel your loss, I have lost a parent, so I know your pain. To help you deal with your pain, I hope you write a book for your children, who will know all the stories of your life with your husband.<BR/><BR/>All my love,<BR/><BR/>Linda LangAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-6732451957088378022008-03-13T20:31:00.000-07:002008-03-13T20:31:00.000-07:00What a beautiful post by a beautiful person.

All I can add is "Amen!" to what's been written above, tell you I love you (what a blessing you have been in my life since I've known you!), and say again that you are in my prayers, today and for the days to come.Joyce DiPastenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638031103659265422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-66670984920058373092008-03-13T09:30:00.000-07:002008-03-13T09:30:00.000-07:00Anna,you are faith and hope in the flesh!

Today, I read your post and wish I could find a way to return the favor and raise you, hug you, fill you. The best I can do is love you, e-hug you, and pray for you that your family and dear memories will fill your immediate void. I love you, Anna.

I don't wish you to be with Charles very soon, for purely selfish reasons.
