Relationship Big Shock Tonight

Anni, I found the pattern online and ordered it. It should get here next week some time.

I like the calendar idea Adam! ;)
 
OK an update for the weekend. I saw my wife as I was coming out of the grocery store on Saturday. We chatted for a few minutes and she gave me a hug before leaving. As she started to move to hug me I thought for a second she was going to kiss me, but no such luck. Of course now I am wondering if I imagined it or if she changed her mind at the last second. Sigh.....

Then Saturday evening our neighbor from where we used to live called to tell me her husband had passed away. They were like another set of parents to us when we lived next to them for 8 years. I called my wife after that and she suggested we go visit Irma after she got off work at the vet clinic on Sunday. So that's what we did today. We spent a little over 2 hours visiting with Irma and hearing about George's passing. He was 90 yrs old and Irma is 92. I'm going to have to stop by and see her a little more often from now on as she is living alone.

After leaving Irma's I went to my wife's house to help her with some stuff and I got to check and see if our wedding picture is still out, and it is! That made me smile. :D

I am also happy because I got the bed moved back into the bedroom, so I don't need to sleep on the air mattress or couch now! :)

I'm so sorry about your friend Jawn. Wow though....to live that long and still be independent, that is COOL!

Your back is going to thank you for moving the bed back in!
 
Sigh........I'm a little upset right now, but I probably shouldn't be. I spent most of the evening getting my wife's new laptop set up and was jazzed about taking it over to her. Then I noticed that some more stuff was missing from the house. Things that are important to her and I was originally surprised that she didn't take them when she moved. I guess in a way to know some things like that were still here were signs of hope for me. Now those things are disappearing too. It's probably not a big deal, but it sure got to me tonight.

I guess I will talk to my T about it tomorrow and see if I can put it in the proper perspective.

Hi Jawn,

Well when you're feeling kind of 'numb' or crushed with pressure even important objects don't feel so.
Perhaps she feels better having them near to her now, putting some of the pieces back together. Because after all she is not living with you right now so it may be important to have them near where she is.
I think it is a more hopeful sign than throwing them out or abandoning them altogether, if she wishes to reurn to parts of her previous life and identity.

I am sorry about your friend.-
 
Now those things are disappearing too. It's probably not a big deal, but it sure got to me tonight.

I feel for you Jawn as I can appreciate the significance of such and, despite wanting the best for your wife, how it would hurt you.
 
Hang in there Jawn. I do agree with Junebug that it may be a sign that she is starting to feel better. (((HUGS)))
 
Thanks everyone. Junebug I had not thought about it from that perspective as to me it seems like when that stuff leaves that maybe she won't be coming back. But you put a new angle on it for me to think about. And I like that option a whole lot better! :)

Jawn
 
Sigh.....just put on my headphones and turned on my favorite local online radio station. They were playing Journey's Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. That song makes me think of my wife and memories of when life was good for us.
