Day Two as a Widow


January 19 · 
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, DelorisLisa, 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).
