“Grief can’t be shared. Everyone carries it alone; his own burden in his own way.” – <\/strong><\/em>Anne Morrow Lindbergh<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When Sue took me in, she had no idea of my “baggage” but she never complained, she only grew more attached to everyone.\u00a0 The picture below is from twenty years ago on a family cruise when the Millenium changed!\u00a0 The little girls are now mothers and Pete’s mom is smiling along with Sue.\u00a0 It was a weekend to remember.<\/p>\n

Sue and I invited twenty family members and friends to sail the Mexican Riveria over the New Years 2000.\u00a0 I was so proud of my bride as she was wonderful with everybody.\u00a0 My cousins, aunts, kids, grandkids, in-laws, outlaws, whatever, Sue was Sue.<\/p>\n

In my home, I have pictures of Sue or Sue and me together everywhere as it reminds me of the three decades we had together.\u00a0 There are days where it is difficult to keep going but seeing her, remembering things she said about future possibilities keeps me moving.\u00a0 I miss you so much my dearest Sue.<\/p>\n

Sailing the Seas with family.<\/p><\/div>\n

Today was slow.\u00a0 I made it to the kitchen and had my morning coffee to get my heart started.<\/p>\n

I popped into the kitchen and headed for the ham, bacon, and eggs and made a protein breakfast.\u00a0 One meal is all I need of this fine concoction and I am good for the entire day.\u00a0 Loads of protein and not a lot of calories means 193 pounds is within today’s target range.<\/p>\n

After breakfast,\u00a0 I decided I would walk before the contractor arrives.\u00a0 Just as I was leaving, Bob called and said he was using today to collect all the supplies he needed to finish the job instead of going to the store every day.\u00a0 Good idea.\u00a0 He and Joe, my wonderful son, are getting together as Bob is going to use Joe’s jackhammer to break out the concrete foundation for the shower. A day of “rest”, yeah!<\/p>\n

So off I went in a cloud of dust and a hearty “Hi-Yo Silver, Away.”\u00a0 I say it under my breather because most people would not know what that means.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yes, I was wearing my Corona-Mask!<\/p><\/div>\n

My trusty iPhone was playing 1950s music so I zipped right along oblivious to the rest of the world. To a trained eye (or a good musician), one could almost tell the beat I walked to, especially when we get to “The Twist” or “The Stroll”.<\/p>\n
