Bill, so sorry to hear of this, my condolences to you and your daughter, you're in my thoughts and prayers.
Although we've never met, your story told me a lot about what nice people both you and your wife are. She is certainly in that great place now and you and your daughter can be comforted in how you cared for her. Sincere condolences for your loss.
Bill,please receive my deepest condolences for the loss of your wife and best friend. I will pray for you and your family.Bruno and Stephanie.
Thank you all so much for the kind words. The outpouring of support is truly humbling. I haven't found the wedding pictures yet. I'm sure Bonnie knows where they are but she has so much stuff.......... I'll find them eventually. Right now the house feels like the Grand Canyon without her in it and I sit and look around the rooms wondering where to start and what to do next. I find comfort knowing we had a great life together. Not completely without it's bumps and bruises but still great. When she became wheelchair bound with the Transverse Myelitis in 2013, everyone said she was lucky to have me. I always felt it was the other way around. She used to say that things were backwards, that she should be taking care of me rather than me having to take care of her. Well, Beautiful, it's your turn now.
Thoughts and prayers deeply for you. I lost my girl suddenly in 2009. I still keep her close. So so important to appreciate our every minute with the people we love.
I'm no Hemingway, but that is one of the most poignant, reflective, and loving set of thoughts I have ever seen a man share. This group of folks that link up on V8Buick is really something. Anyone thats on here and does't recognize that there is more going on then swapping old Buick stuff and "how to" ideas is missing out on a lot. When compared to the first post, it is obvious you are further along with the processing of what has transpired. We lost my mother 14 months ago, and my Dad initially seemed overwhelmed with all of my Mom's worldly possessions. He has since put a big dent in things. Remember, it took decades to accumulate it all and it can't possibly be dispersed overnight so chisel away when you can without pressuring yourself too much. You likely were spending a lot of time helping your wife and taking her to appointments, that's your time now, make the most of it. Life is a gift and there is no better way to honor Bonnie's memories other than live it to its fullest.
