I have my father-in-law with us and we've been talking about death, and he's sharing his feelings about his wifes passing. He's never spoken about it before. My heart aches. Your post captured me from the beginning, but I finally broke down at "how he talked to my grandma's side of the bed in the evenings..." I look over at my husband and think I hope we're like that.

I'm sorry for your and your family's loss and hope you will find the strength together to heal. He had a good life, from what you so beautifully shared with us, thank you for doing this.<br /><br />I know what you mean with leaving a void.<br />I grew up with my grandma in our house, she was more my mama, and since she passed there isn't a day that goes by, where I don't mention her name or do something the way she has thought me. Our grandparents are not here, but we carry them in our hearts. <br /><br />I wish you all the best, <br />big virtual hugs,<br />Maureen xxDaydream Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092794695138108197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-90160873174240100602012-05-11T10:46:18.770-04:002012-05-11T10:46:18.770-04:00Oh, Courtney.
