My trip to Rumson
part 1
Look at us
We were kids
Not a care in the world
Well, that's not really true.
I had two babies
but Denise and I were connected.
Even when we didn't see one another
we talked.
We were in Bob and Denise's wedding.
Alexandra and Graham loved going to
Uncle Bob and Aunt Denise's
They made it such fun
Two years ago I got a telephone call that brought me to my knees.
Bob, one of the healthiest men I had ever known,
was dead.
How could that be?
He had been out to dinner the night before.
We hadn't seen Bob and Denise in awhile.
At the time, I couldn't travel with Kenny
His Frontotemporal Degeneration
had progressed enough that we could not travel
And now
Here we are
Two widows
How is this possible?

So glad you found and shared these lovely pictures of us...and Bob and Kenny... Thank you dear friend
God brings us together in so many different ways for so many reasons that we dont' always understand right away. And here your friendship is not as couples anymore but as two widows. I hope the strength of your friendship will continue to sustain and keep you both strong and hopeful, I am sure you were there for her when this tragedy occured as I bet shes there for you right now. Sending a hug, Cheryl.
A friend of mine is a great, famous writer. He also teaches graduate students the art of fine writing. He tells them not to "think" not to intellectualize, but to feel, use emotions and then the words will come naturally to express those emotions.
The words have not come to me, but the emotions are strong. You have written a beautiful, poignant post. Like Tina, I too hope that the strength of your friendship will help keep both of you strong.

OMG. So aweful. I think it's so hard when there is no warning. I'm so glad you two have each other. xo
This is so terribly sad. I can't even imagine how much pain you and Denise must have felt when your husbands died. I'm so glad you two have each other to lean on. xoxo
Stopping by for the first time -this is so terribly sad I had to read it twice to make sure I was getting your message. My heart aches for you. I agree with all of your readers. Wishing you strength and peace.

Life is a journey and how amazing that you both have each other to share life with. It is with our friends that we find a common place and one of support.
How wonderful you share so much together. Surely this is all part of some greater plan.
You both have something good in store.

Cheryl, I have "surfed" upon you from Leslie's blog trouverlesoleil.
