Wll we made it through all of the anniv. of Dez's passing on to be with Jesus. Spring, easter, her boys' birthdays.Summer, fall, our birthdays, no happy birthday daddy from her this year. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. One more date, the anniv. of her passing, the 7th. we are doing good though I almost lost Terri a couple of times, didn't think we would make it through Thanksgiving, tears in the stuffing. But we made it and Lord willing we will celebrate our 28th wedding anniv. this month. We were recently given a book by the pastors wife, they are our dear friends, by C.S. Lewis called "A Grief Observed" This is a random collection of notes he wrote after he lost his wife to cancer. They were found by a friend after he passed away and published under a suedonym for some time and then under his name. We also found a copy of Carol Wimbers book 'The Way it Was' in it was Carols candid stories about John Wimbers death and also about their son who died of cancer. Terri has done remarkedly better since reading 'A Grief Observed.' She went out and bought flowers for the house, that was cool. Most of our progress has been from knowing we have endured.
