Jane is a Widow

friend passed away. He lived in West Texas. We talked a couple of times. He was a very nice man. He had a heart transplant. Whenever he had to be admitted to the hospital he was in Dallas. I saw where he had also an amputation done. He sure went through a lot. One of my classmates passed away too. He lived in Arizona. He was a really nice guy. Godspeed Mauri.

sharing a letter I received several years ago. A very mean letter full of hurtful lies. I received it several years after Troy died, that was intended. He would have been furious. I could never write such a hateful letter especially to someone who had been very good to me. It has turned out to be a very costly letter, not for me but them. All of our actions have consequences. You may think your letter hurt me but it actually has hurt you more….

as names from 9/11 were being read. A lot of the people reading were sons and daughters who lost a parent that day. They had to grow up missing a parent. They chose different ways to honor that parent that they missed when they were growing up. They were thankful for the few years they were blessed with their parent. Unfortunately today we have children who have discarded the parents who nurtured them, took care of them when they were sick and provided their needs. Maybe they can learn a lesson from those children of 9/11 who lost a parent. Shame from acting this way will one day arrive at your door….good luck you’re going to need it.

near I feel the sadness I experienced when it happened. I was working for Terry at home and Troy called me from EDS and told me to turn on the television because we were being attacked. I remember being glued to the television watching all the sadness and destruction. I pray nothing like that ever happens again and that all those who lost loved ones find comfort.

learned that my Aunt Nida passed away. She was my last living aunt. She had been married to Conley. I still have one uncle alive. Nida was always so nice to us when we visited my grandparents. I have many fond memories of my visits to my grandparents home in Kentucky. I just found a bunch of letters that my grandmother wrote to my aunt. And letters my Dad wrote to his sister. They were all very close. I miss them all…..

birthday Troy. Makes me sad that you aren’t here to celebrate it. We would be going to our favorite place El Matador. You’ve been on my mind all day, memories. You make a lot of memories in 42 years. Thank you for them all, they keep me company. I can reach for them anytime. Love you and miss you…..❤️
