Looking back over it and recalling those first days I noticed that I didn’t respond to your kind words of encouragement. Somehow I missed that. I wanted to say thank you for the encouragement, even if my thanks are so late!

I'm used to being by myself but I don't think I'll ever be used to being without the one you can talk to about anything and get advice from. The one that laughs at the same things with you and values you above all others. But life is like that and we can only go on and try to find our peace with how things are. I'm lucky to be able to make the change to here and to find some happy times.

Losing a loved one is never easy, losing the one you wanted to grow old with, well... I hope that your new start will bring you peace. Your new place looks exciting and you’re making new friends already.<br /><br /><a href="http://mullerexteriors.livejournal.com/9992.html" rel="nofollow">Franklin Stewart @ Muller Exteriors</a>Franklin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398131204095661999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996018374520170820.post-84886826116400443532017-05-19T01:27:02.672-06:002017-05-19T01:27:02.672-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Franklin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398131204095661999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996018374520170820.post-72541957362305118752017-05-16T02:27:14.776-06:002017-05-16T02:27:14.776-06:00Your home is so beautiful; the upgrades make such ...Your home is so beautiful; the upgrades make such a difference in aesthetics.

It's been over 10 years now, and I'm happy we made the change. You will be surprised how you will adapt to the change. That was a great before and after transformation of that old home. I especially love that you kept the gorgeous hardwood <a href="http://minutemanintl.tumblr.com/post/157347594972/better-business-potential-with-floor-scrubbers" rel="nofollow">flooring</a>.

Before I moved to my home on the other side of the country, I did a few things to help myself with the transition. I joined two local hiking groups before I even met them, and I asked about local events I could attend. I fit right in!<br /><br /><a href="https://valleyhomeimprv.wordpress.com/2017/02/28/kitchen-remodeler-three-eye-catching-ideas-for-a-kitchen-focal-point/" rel="nofollow">Essie Reed @ Valley Home Improvement</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305469786514945718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996018374520170820.post-2032875188015898842017-02-22T08:21:30.241-07:002017-02-22T08:21:30.241-07:00Thank you, Wendy, for your encouragement and thoug...Thank you, Wendy, for your encouragement and thoughts.
