Dear Mari

It is good to hear the visit went so well, and that even hubby played a positive role in it. :)

The son has the same kind of synesthesia i do... i seem to recall it was you who pointed out it was a type of synesthesia when i told you about it... or perhaps based on something i said you asked if i had synesthesia and i looked it up and went, whoaa!

i think it's nice how the wife shared a little with you about her husband/your friend. It sounds like a sort of communion in his spirit.

i hope your day is going well today and that hubby is not raving about insurance again. ok maybe that's unrealistic :o:eek: i do hope your day at school is goes well however, and that whatever happens at home is ... "dealable-with" :rolleyes:;):cool:

((((hugs))))

Yes.
 

Hi,

Hubby has found someone else half willing to listen to him about insurance: the agent that has our car insurance is helping him deal with the home insurance company and he has a friend who is listening to him.
He and I are not talking about it now -- thank goodness.

one year anniversary
 

Hi,
Work Buddy mentioned the one year anniversary of our colleague's passing and how up to the the very end we were realistically optimistic about our colleague regaining his good health.

He also pointed out how the two of us have done a lot in the past year since his death.
We were reminding each other that is it ok to feel worn out right now.

Mari

Anniversary's are hard, glad that you guys talked about him.
((((HUGS))))

Dear Mari

i am so relieved for you that hubby has found someone else to bug about the insurance stuff - and someone in the field too, that's perfect... hopefully the agent guy can really help him work through things.

i think it is awesome that you and WorkBuddy talked openly about your friend's death, the anniversary, the work you two have done together since, and your shared sense of exhaustion... great that you were able to validate each other's feelings. too. all this to me suggests positive growth in your relationship.

(((hugs)))

Hi,

Work buddy and I are giving a presentation at 9:30 am Friday.
We did the project together but he will be doing the talking.

I am stressing sooo much. I need to remind myself to never ever agree to do another presentation -- even if I have only a small part in it.

I need to set my alarm for 7:00 am
He has said that my presence means something to him.


I have decided that I do not have to go. I can cancel or even walk out whenever I want and he can manage fine.
But I will make an effort -- to the degree that I can -- to at least to be there at a little before the start time of 9:30.

Mari I know what you mean. Public speaking is nerve racking isn't it. BF:hug::hug::hug:

good luck today. It is good giving yourself permission to leave if need be, you may want to pass that along to your buddy.
I hate talking in front of other people, including social situations.

Dear Mari

--------- AND ---------
for recovery from this whole process and the stress it brought, whether you made it there or not.
