[Blondie]

This is hard for me..but necessary. I was married young and over thirty years...I adored him. He had a brain tumor which we treated ( 3 craneotomies, max radiation, and much chemo) for 16 years. Jim always told the MD's to do whatever they wanted to him from Sept. to June, but Blondie and I travel in the summer so it was off limits. It worked until the last summer when the MD said you need to have more chemo---Jim said---see you in Sept. Sept came and he thought worse case scenario he would have another operation...but the tumor had crossed the mid-line of the brain, and surgery was not possible. He had more chemo, but come December, it was evident that further treatment was futile. I took off the next six months from work to be with him, and he died on May 31st (that was seven years ago). One thing I have learned is that no matter how badly your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief. Jim surely was my soulmate, and I can't imagine that anyone could ove me as much as he did....so I haven't dated. I don't want to sound morose, b/c I am one of the luckiest people I know. I have a beautiful daughter, wonderful son-in-law, and two of the best grandkids in the world. I love dancing, going out with friends, making new friends, and adventures....and I love TOTV, as it has opened up a whole new world to me.
