My wife died of a throat cancer (among other things) 8 years 3 months and 12 days ago! Who said I'm counting?

After slightly more than 5 years of caring and coping, her passing was, honestly, a great joy for us both! Here I am now in TV, enjoying every minute and somewhat astonishing my up north friends who had thought I'd end up as a basket case! [No comments, please, from those of you who think I really am a basket case!]

I have a very good friend whose wife was killed 9 years ago in a t-bone car crash on her way home from her teaching job one afternoon, not a mile from their house. She was one of the most vibrant people I ever knew. Her husband retreated into a shell for a number of years, but now gets out and about and enjoys his solitary life, as do I!

TOTVers are here for you, as I think you already know!
