My god Sue. I'm so, so sorry. I'll be heavy hearted for you for a long time. I know a little about what you've been through & just can't possibly express my condolences.
We're ALL here for you.
We're ALL here for you.
Sue,
my sincerest condolences to you and your loved ones. I pray that you will all come together to remember and ponder the life lived and comfort each other over the life lost.

You and the possibility of Dale's passing today have been on my mind today.
Twice I almost shared with near strangers your courage and acceptance and strength and caring ... but they were strangers unable to value you as highly as we value you, because they have not spent time with you. "It is the time you spend with your rose which makes it important"-St. Exupery. The time you have spent with each of us has, and will continue, to enrich us all. Dale the most of us all.
I sincerely believe you will process and come through the other side of your many moments of grief with joy and a renewed appreciation for the gift of a life well lived. May the spirits of the earth, moon, stars and winds bear you up and Dale up as your paths part and rejoin in a ballet of love. The end is not the end any more than the beginning is the beginning. Let us continue to walk and share to the extent we are able. My heart is overwhelmed with the joy you have shared today, and the sorrow of parting you have also shared.
Blessings have, and will, continue to flow. Thank you for showing them to us.

I'm nodding off as I read. Time to sleep in my own bed again.
Your collective love surrounds me, keeping me safe. I cannot believe how important you all are to me or how thankful I am that we met. Some things are obviously meant to be.
Good night.

My condolences Sue. I just read your post from this morning. Dale lives in the lives he touched even the ones he touched through you.

I had the best night's sleep in I can't tell you how long, knowing he was finally free and the stress on us relieved.
I am so touched by your caring. You do realize this means you'll never get rid of me, don't you?

I believe after this life we go on to a conscious place where there is no pain or suffering; nothing difficult to overcome. Our trials and tribulations come to an end here. We no longer need these strengths we build over the course of a lifetime as they're not necessary. So we leave them here with the ones we love when we go. Life's not going to be easy for a while, but when you look back you'll think about the hard times and realize that it's the only thing that could have held you up. You'll be okay.
Be strong.
Be strong.
"I'm Glad You're In My Dash"
I'm Glad You're In My Dash
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone,
From the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
(1934 - 1998)
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her,
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars...the house...the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard...
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile..
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

Pot Chimp....
Ziggy, that was wonderful and healing, and YES! I do believe that when my time comes you would be hard pressed to say that Susan wasted any time in that dash.
It occurred to me this morning that I no longer have to behave like a good wife anymore. That made me laugh right out loud. You guys weren't aware I was reigning it in were you?
I promise I'll try to go easy on you. I love you guys.
Let's have some fun gardening. Sure I'll have those moments, but I have no lack of companions with open and waiting arms to get me through the rough patches. Your collective love fuels me today and I'm feeling powerful. On to my update.

Is there any sight more beautiful (barring the faces of your loved ones, of course 
) than cannabis in the sun?
Seriously, didn't that make your heart skip a beat? You can openly admit it, you're among fellow gardening nerds. It's safe here.
I love that the best stealthy location in this apartment was directly in the path of the morning sun. Next year, for certain, I'm putting bonsai babies in monster root space on the balcony. Abso-f*****g-lutely! You wouldn't believe the space I'm wasting out there.

Nuff said. So let's see those adorable little girls.

Unless I relocate to a legal state...oops! The hospice doctor and I agreed that the best choice was to make this state legal. Yep. Sounds like a plan. So yeah, next year a balcony grow. I can even start it as a simple greenhouse and then open it up. 
That solves the challenge of that run of cold weather we always get in June that throws all the crops off.
Lost in the thought stream.... Have to get back to the update.
"And just as surely as one and one is two, I just got to take care of you." Good grief, the voice on that Beth Hart has me mesmerized. *sigh* Headphones are a real wonder, but then I tend to meander. Nice to be able to do that. Nice to be able to sing right out loud. Where was I?
See you soon.

I do believe you may be the strongest woman I have ever had the honor of knowing.... May God wrap you in his healing arms and make this road as easy as possible... I can't imagine the emotions you must be feeling nor do I know the words to even begin to make it better but please know if there is anything you need or that I can possibly do for you that I am just a keystroke away....
