What is home to you?
Since my husband passed I have been going through a period of asking myself "What is home to you?" I sold the home which held many memories, and we did have a wonderful time. I would say good memories help a lot. Everything feels pretty temporary now. The boys have grown up and moved on and I am alone again. Music has a big place in my heart and when I hear that "special" tune it takes me back in time to another place. Don't get me wrong, I'm not feeling sorry for myself but it's not until you lose that special person, your "best friend" that you'll know what I mean. Thank God I have fantastic friends who are in the same place as I am and know what I mean. I'm grateful I have found YLC as it is a good place to be. I feel some of you are like Pen Friends.
Haha, now cranks, you know I always save the best for last, BUT if you were offering cake instead of flowers, would have been there in a flash. If I don't have some cake soon, might have to consider this guy and just hope catsahoy isn't watching!
Now pack it in you pair....
Here, A cake to share filled with your favourite snacks.... :)
Hola, and PlanB....Sometimes words just aren't enough.... :)
Here's some cakes for Ray. Dig in everyone before he comes back and eats them all !!!
Got here as fast as I could Sandi. Cake! Now that makes you a friend for life!
Good thing I got here when I did or Cats would have helped herself. Ok Cats seeing you've just had a birthday, help yourself and Happy Birthday mate.
Cranky, I got cake - take note!
I've taken note and left you squabbling pair( Ray and Cats).. a little treat filled with your favourite snacks............lol
In case you both missed it...
That's a great looking slice of cheesecake Cranks. You must be a mind reader, just what I need after a hard day's work. Tell you what though will be tough going, chewing those mice heads, but since they're just the sort of treat Cats might like, I'll buy them all for her. Now at $5 per head, that's $30 if my math is right, or I might have to check this with Barak our resident "Sir."
Cheers Cats the mice heads are on me!
Hola, I would never presume to know how devistating it is to lose your husband and best friend, and I hope it is a good few years before I have that experience, but it would be like stepping into another life..
I am sure there are a few that in here that are also in the same place as you,
This is why the people that set these forums up are so special, as it takes a lot of time and effort to moderate the masses , believe me..I know . It's sometimes a thankless task, but when there are people like you who appreciate the online companionship, it's worth the effort.
You often find members radiate toward each other through common ground and interests,and yes, I agree with you, it does feel like some are similar to pen friends ,of which you are one, and It's a nice feeling,which keeps us opening the door of YLC and walking in...and I do so like the elephant...:)
