OK, great night last night. Three women that Ray knew from high school (he went to Notre Dame, an all male school, and they went to Regina, an all girls' school...right next to each other) stayed here Monday and Tuesday night. I (of course) have known them for 22 years now. We went to the cemetery, looked at pictures, cried, shared stories....etc. It was great. Last night they treated me and Drew to dinner at Clearbrook.
I also had a friend of mine stay for the last several days. He used to live here with his ex-partner. They have been apart for six years and got together last night for dinner. A cordial meeting. They also went to Clearbrook. It made me feel so good to see themtogether. It felt like "old times." It was as if I was thinking..."see, you can bring the past back." I guess it was just me living a life as if I could get one more chance to sit down to dinner and talk with Ray. Catch up on what is going on. It made me feel "comfortable" to see them together like it was a familiarity. Your mind gets efffd up after the death of your spouse....so I don't know if this makes any sense.... Miss you Ray! - Jimmy
Hi Honey!
ReplyDeleteI think it makes sense. Familiar things always make you feel better. I can understand how you would want to sit down and talk to Ray again. No your mind is not messed up. I will email you.
Hugs,
Karen
