4. Well...

You've been through every holiday for the first time withut him. It'll still hurt the 2nd time around, but not like a brick hitting you on the head.

Hang in there, C, it's two years you need. If you can manage to get through one more, you could end up being an octogenarian (although I don't wish that on me).

Keep up what you've been doing to occupy your mind. The news is not that interesting or cheerful the last few weeks - guns, gay marriages, etc., and for a couple of old straight married people like us (yes, you are still married in your head), we need some good House battles about SS, Medicare and maybe a war we don't wanna go to, and hopes that MSNBC becomes a better station. But I am hoping the best for the gays, it's time.

Take care, love. The orioles are here in less than a month. Get your grape jelly ready, and your sugar water for the hummingbirds.
