Yesterday
was day 1 as a widow. It soundly sucked. But it was made so much more bearable
with the love and support of family and friends. Particularly thanking, Jeff (Dad), Mom, Deloris, Lisa, and Lara. And thanks to everyone
else who called, texted, messaged, or posted.
Now for
day 2... (deep breath)
Love
you forever, my Jaybird

Day 2 as a widow
(yesterday): Still sucked, but again, family and friends made it more bearable.
I came to Greensboro to be with Jay's family. Lots of conversation about Jay,
how I found him, and what we want for a funeral. Spent at least two hours at
the funeral home figuring out what we are doing. Then still further
conversations with family and friends. Ended the day with a very late, and long
(where'd our waitress go?), but emotionally needed dinner out with Jay's sister
(loved the conversation and time with you, Marilyn).
