Dead right. I am still to get past the first year, which everyone says is the hardest. I don't know, but I'll guess they are right. I'll find out.

My advice, back then and again now, is to TALK about it. I am aware that my posts on this topic were not welcomed by all. However, this forum belongs to us all ( I'll renew my sub, Inc ). I recall pushing to fund a young woman's attempt to get her father to Canada ( 249973-lets-get-kenley-canada-36.html post #4 ). Lots of us got on board with that, with a good result. It was a good thing to do.

I may be wrong, but I always looked upon this place as a kind of LR based online Men's Shed.

Every person alive has issues.

There have been times when I have doubted that, Mick. Nice to see that people transcend politics.

Re reading this thread, with all of it's sadness and maudlin themes, makes me remember just what a great place this can be. There are lots of opinionated idiots, me included, but we are basically good people.

This is a bad time for me, but I guess it can be a bad time for lots of us. I am not personally a Christian, even though I was raised as one, but Christianity has a message, and that is one of love and compassion. Nothing wrong with that in my view.

Heres a Christmas song for you all: watch

I want to thank everyone for their support.

John.

Two years tomorrow. How is that possible? it was yesterday and it was a whole lifetime ago.

Jan loved Stephen Stills. One of her faves was "Love the one you're with". Wise words for most people, because that is all you have.

Sorry to bring this up again, but there were many beautiful and salient points raised about the stupidity of men which need to be reiterated, and many wonderful comments from people who I never knew who became my friends, even though I don't talk to them anymore. I live alone now, but I remember each and every one of you. You know who you are.

May tomorrow be a day of reminiscing of good times and happy memories of your time together.

Be safe John, and remember there are people here for you.

That is the plan, Mike.

I brought this up again because the message is unchanged.

Oh, and the loneliness is also unchanged. Losing people does not go away. People need reminding. Never let your loved ones go.

Today, your memories are a treasure!

Continuing thoughts and condolences are with you mate. Cheers Rod
