Mizar here! Just Checking in. It has been, Six Months, this Week, since, My Dear Husband, Ron Died. I am doing Well. Better, then I Expected. When, He was Alive, I was on this Board, every Day, for, a Solid, Three Years. It gave Me so much Comfort. I am still, in Tennesse, still away, from Family and Friends, but just like before, I know, that I can, always, come, here to Talk. Peace and Love and Good Health, to You All,  or should I say " Y'All ? "

So good to hear from you again, Mizar!  What part of Tennessee you live in? I live in Tn also.  Go TITANS!!!!! I know you miss your husband terribly, but Im also glad to know that it has gotten better for you!  You miss him but you still have the memories to carry you through your life! That is great to know!

Since you living in Tenn. wonder do you go round barefoot with straw hanging out your mouth?  As a child, that was my image of folks in Tenn. I don't know why, I just always thought they were "Hillbillies"  walking around barefoot and straw in mouth with shotgun over shoulder!  Weird huh?  Actually, most Tennesseans are pretty cool people and the hills are gorgeous all over the state!

PM me sometime and we can arrange to get together for some coffee or tea sometime!

Thanks for popping in & remembering us!

 Straw, Hanging out of Mouth.  :rofl;  You have seen the Sign, that says " I was not Born in Tennessee, but I got here as fast as I could "  That's Me.

Oh Mizar, i think of you often and im so glad to hear from you.  Im so glad that your doing ok, and even better than expected.  I never want to be there (well i want to be doing ok, but you know what i mean) and it's good to hear you do survive.  Bless you for checking in here.  I'd love to hear of 'how' you got where you are and what helped you through. It's good support for all survivors to know you do make it.   Sending love hugs, peace and comfort, and do hope you'll fill us in on someore of your good stuff :)   :grouphug;

*waves* at Mizar!  How lovely to see you! Six months?  Wow.  I'm so pleased that you're doing well, although I understand how terribly much you must miss Ron.  Pop back soon!

(I now have visions of you running around barefoot, with straw dangling from your mouth and a shotgun hanging precariously over your shoulder ... !)
