Well, I am back, well maybe not all of me, but my fingers are here. I think my brain & heart are somewhere else. My Wonderful Husband was interred on Monday the 18th, and since the accident, last night is the first I have been alone, just me & the dog, who is wondering around in a daze. (Dog & Me both) hahaha! Just so you know, my DH and I were having a house moved to my GD's property, because as we are getting up there (He was 82) she felt we needed closer to he & family. She wanted to take care of use as we needed it. Well, he & his son were using a large type ditcher to dig ditch for gas line, and he reached to keep a wire out of the auger thing and it pulled him in with the wire. Police said he went instantly as he hit, so there was no pain, but ohhhh, the pain is here with all of us. He was almost "perfect in every way" Hahaha. We had 5 different Pastors come to his service. I didn't know any of them were coming. They were all from churches he had attended or helped with at one time or another. Plus the 3 Pastors that did the service. Our whole Church is in mourning. Everyone loved him, especially me. In all my years of Church, this is the first time I saw the whole church cry for one human being so much. Sorry to take so much time, but if I make mistakes in things, just consider the reason, please. I try to read over what I type, but I probably won't catch all mistakes. Love youns all, Huggs, Judy

Dear Judy, what a happy, lovely man your husband is! He looks like he would have welcomed people into his home, and his heart, with a big hug. I feel like it would have been joyful and peaceful to have a cup of coffee and conversation around the kitchen table with you both. This photo of him says so much. I know you and your doggie will both miss him terribly, but it obvious that your faith, family and friends will help you get through the days and weeks without this beautiful human being at your side. You wrote such a moving tribute, and I know you'll be ok, because I started on this path 5 years ago when my Bud left me, and I sure wouldn't have even been able to TYPE a ha ha at that point. I'm so glad you have such wonderful memories of him to cherish, the deep satisfaction of a life well lived together in faith and love, until you can be reunited again in that place where "every tear will be wiped from your eye". My love, my admiration, and my very best hugs, Marji

Judy dear, As I look at his kind face I can see the love he had for others shining through. What a marvelous Homecoming he must have had when he entered Heaven's gates. You I know have peace knowing who he is with and where he is. Yes, there is a hole in your heart, an emptiness and a longing to be with him. God will sustain you and you will see him again. I've and others as well have lost a husband so we know how you feel. May God bless you and know he too knows your hurt. Much love Lillian

Dearest Judy, I am so so sorry. I was gone this weekend and somehow missed these posts. This is a terrible tragedy. I do hope your sweet granddaughter doesn't feel responsible in any way. I feel so for you, I can't imagine your feeling of loss and bewilderment.
From what you wrote, he was truly a great and very well loved and respected man. His picture shows a man with great kindness in his eyes and heart. Very dapper and handsome, too. I pray that you are able grasp those happy, wonderful times, you spent with him and they carry you through your sad walk as you find a path without him for now. I'll be praying for you and your family. Much love and hugs.
