My situation is so different, but your writing is so applicable. My wife of 50 years, is battling stage 4 cancer. She is currently active and mobile, and we are trying to enjoy life to the fullest. Whilst (I am not British, I just like that word) the current moments can be good, the foreshadowing of the future makes being fully present oftentimes difficult. The future can be just as intrusive as the past, and nearly as hard to ignore. Your wonderful evening, so beautifully described, might be a good inspiration for me to strive for more adamantly . Thanks.
Hi Ron. I wanted to take a moment and give you and your wife my support, love and prayers. While I don't know an incredible love story like the two of you have shared, I'm a basically single mama raising 3 boys ages 5, 4 and 2. I also just lost my infant baby girl last year. The grief from losing her, mixed with the foreshadowing of raising a son with special needs who will need lifelong care and the idea of me not living forever steals every ounce of beauty I should be soaking in of their childhood. Thank you for the beautiful reminder to also slow down and live more fully in the present. I hope to one day find a partner like you and your wife found soul mates in one another. All my best Ron.
Thank you MK. I am allowing the grief of the past (losing my infant daughter last year) and grief of the future (my 5yo son has non verbal autism) and the fear of not being able to live forever to care for him and what will happen when I'm gone, its all consuming. Its such a thief. Thank you for this beautiful reminder to slow down. Look around. Not let fear debilitate me and steal more time with my precious living children. Easier said then done when clouded with grief, but none the less never giving up. Thank you again MK
I’m happy to see you healing, slowing down to enjoy moments, finding new love and generally being happy yourself right where you are right this minute.

Your rebirth is so beautiful, MK. Thank you for sharing it with us.
