Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

Today I have sadness and yet hope. It was 6 months ago that cancer took my lovely wife from me. She taught me that life is short, move forward, find solutions and not excuses, and go do! And so, I am. At 71, my time here is short, so I must and will find some happiness. I have discovered there is more to all of you than sexy playful banter. I am glad I have made some new friends here. “It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward.” (author Patti Davis).
I feel for you man, me 69, her 65, and my wife is vey ill CHF, COPD, asthma, severe spinal scoliosis, pain 24/7, her days are very numbered and my mine are too (diabetic) we've been married 44years and jus the thought of being without her is staggering. Between her & I, we have no more living family. Chaos is our family!
So hang in there, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
 
Below freezing? You can have our -8C morning if you want. LOL
Oh I'd like that, it's supposed to be winter and freezing after all. Even at daytime. I prefer dry freezing weather over wet, slushy and cold. And my asthma agrees.

I even like winter continuing a bit long, and having a short, fast-paced spring, rather than having a long, slow spring between winter and summer.

Thank you. You both are going through some challenging times, I understand the long term caregiver you are going through. For 2 years I was her caregiver where before she was always mine. She would say, if I am angry, remeber its the cancer and not you. I knew she would lash out at me as she always knew I loved her and understood. What got me through those times, was to take it one day at a time and enjoy the good days.

One of the hardest part in my husband's cancer was that he could lash out and choose to discuss some topics, I couldn't. Things that I would have wanted, even needed to discuss, were ruled out completely. Like preparing for the possibility of him not living the 10+ years he wanted to think he would.

My wife, the doctor, wont even discuss her upcoming neuropsychological exam.
 
It is 32F here in sunny FLA. Going grocery shopping soon. Need to make something for dinner. Might smoke some ribs and light shit on fire in my pit. Booze it up and nap. Maybe watch some pigskinball. Anyone up for some fun?

I seem to have brought out some trigger memories and sadness in some of you. For that I am sorry. I do appreciate all of your comforting words and you have mine. It seems we all have been through and going through troubled times. I am here for you as you are for me.
 
I dont know. I feel like I gave run out of material. It akso takes a lot of energy and I need to save that fir banging. Plus chased away all the people I used to trigger.
I was just thinking you gave me crap about saying sportsball. But then Justa started using it regularly and you don't say a word. 😂😂😂
