Dear Angel, Glad to see you back. I was hoping that we hadn't offended you, or something, because we hadn't seen you. Let me express and extend my sincerest sympathy to you for the loss of your husband. May our loving Lord comfort, strengthen, and protect you at this time. Remember that in His word, many of his promises are to the fatherless and the widows. I pray that any friends and social circle you had before your husband's passing, will continue to be there for you now. My mom's two husbands both passed away, and their friends deserted her. May the Lord draw you close to him and allow him to be your father and companion. God bless. Angel, if you saw the previous posts then you know I will be offlist till after the first of July to learn a few more things from Piano tuning school. I won't have email, but I will be praying for you and remembering your situation. God bless.

A lot has happened since last I wrote. My e-mail wasn't working. I thought I would need help fixing it. I got tired of feeling incompetent so I decided to try to fix it myself. I was successful which proves I am not quite as stupid as I thought. I have some sad news to tell you all. May 21 my husband died. I suppose it was for the best. I began feeding him with a baby bottle, and he became unable to suck from that so I had resigned myselfto the idea I would have to put him into a nursing home after all. I was going to check into nursing homes that very day when I went to try to feed him, and found him dead. It took me a while to admit to myself he was really dead. I thought he was just comatose and only needed to be taken to the hospital. The paramedics told me he was dead and at last I had to admit he was. My son was rather stoic but you never know how another really takes a thing like that. The service was really nice. His beep ball team was there as well as some from his childhood neighborhood. One of our friends even came straight from the hospital to be there. I was very touched by that gesture. I trust you all missed me while I was gone and not much stirring happened while I was gone. I would ask your prayers though as I am still coming to terms with the loss.
