Benj,
That's really hard to answer. I once read that "expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person, is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian." So I guess I try to focus on all the wonderful things I have rather than dwell on the fact that this shouldn't have happened to us. As you say, there are so many others in the world who didn't ever have what I had, and still have. You know no one can take our great memories from us, and I bet you have many wonderful ones as well. So, I guess I can say that, yes, it does get better. I am so looking foward to meeting all of the TOTV folks, and start another new chapter of my life. I'm scared but I know it's time to move on. When Jim died I had to reinvent myself so to speak...not easy for me. One thing I did was that I used to ride on the back of Jim's motorcycle, and when he died I got my own license and now I have my own. I am having it shipped down to TV in Sept.and hope to ride with the Motorcycle "Gang" down there. Doesn't that sound like fun? I have also signed myself onto the Cruise with TOTV----a very bold move for me. I hope I don't spend all my time in my cabin.

Anyway, I am very appreciative to you and all the TOTV folks for including me and making me feel welcome. Hope I can meet you soon, Benj----we can share stories about our soulmates.
