As a teacher who taught at Hardin Valley Academy in Knoxville, I had many former students who posted about their pain when one of "their favorite teachers EVER" died. They spoke of how much they loved him and how he loved each of them. I didn't make the connection at that time that they were talking about your husband. But I finally found a post on one of your friends' blogs (yes, I guess I was snooping trying to find out if you were OK) that shared about your unfathomable loss. At that point, I finally realized that the man you loved was also the man that so many of my former students had loved so deeply as well. Please take some comfort in how many lives he touched in such a positive manner. Take some solace in the mountains that you and he loved as well. There is healing there when you are ready.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353891063619867656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-47721565902357125202015-06-08T11:32:49.890-04:002015-06-08T11:32:49.890-04:00Sharon, I have thought of you many times as you an...Sharon, I have thought of you many times as you and Bill fought that battle, and had so hoped you had it beat. To lose your precious father and your husband and partner in such a short time is unthinkable. I hope you and your mother can help each other, and it sounds as if you have a wealth of friends you can also count on. <br /><br />As you know, I lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago to cancer just nine weeks after the official diagnosis. I wish I could help you in some way. I have learned that you will never get over it, you will just learn to find happiness in making a new life. Let people help you when they offer-you need it right now. Take care of yourself-get enough rest and eat healthy foods. Take your vitamins. Get fresh air. I was told all of this and thought, yes, but it won't bring him back. True, but you need to stay healthy so you can deal with everything coming your way. Hugs and prayers for you, my friend.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799781800542758688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-18179547089019721022015-06-07T17:07:09.934-04:002015-06-07T17:07:09.934-04:00Sharon, you have been in my thoughts and prayers s...Sharon, you have been in my thoughts and prayers since last year.
