Dinner out
1 JulJesse and I went out to dinner tonight. It was my first time out since B’s passing. We went to a group dinner with some folks in the Montrose area. It went well, but I unfortunately surprised a friend who didn’t know.
She and her husband had somehow missed my coming out. He got up and left almost immediately. It was a large group, so I have no idea if that was because of me. She was friendly and accepting.
Otherwise, dinner was pleasant and friendly. It was nice to be out of my hermitage for a change.

Last night’s memorial service
22 JunThe service was well attended, and everything seemed to be as it should be. Several of her friends spoke lovingly of her, the music was well received, and the service ended in one big circle of hugs. Many tears were shed, but that too is as it should be.
I haven’t written much …
20 JunI had such big plans for this blog. Then life, or should I say death, got in the way. Almost two weeks ago, I lost the one true love of my life. She had been fighting a long term illness, and finally could fight no more. Continue reading
