I would think the two of them are enjoying their lives. It is the simple things that mean so much. I too would miss my mate....thank you for your honesty, being jealous seems so natural. I would be very lonely....<br />Hugs,<br />SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-24490405854802126022011-07-15T14:18:53.113-04:002011-07-15T14:18:53.113-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-29262733260129549482011-07-15T14:18:22.907-04:002011-07-15T14:18:22.907-04:00Hi Wendy,

It is wonderful to see elderly couples still caring for each other and taking time for outings, despite ill health etc.<br />I can understand you feeling jealous. I am sure that is a normal reaction. They say there are seven stages to grief, perhaps that is one of them. Like all things, it will pass.....<br /><br />I hope that you are finding 'the way' and that life is treating you kindly....Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-19172480520161739432011-07-14T08:20:12.755-04:002011-07-14T08:20:12.755-04:00Turning weeds into a bouquet--I love it!

You were very clever to come up with a reason why you were watching them, and the gentleman's response was cute. It's nice that they do get out and go places, even if it means getting a taxi. My dad complains sometimes that they're "on the go" too much, but I'm glad they're active and not just sitting around at home (they're both in their 80's). <br /><br />Have a good week!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-14378351927571089552011-07-14T07:47:22.688-04:002011-07-14T07:47:22.688-04:00That was a lovely post and good for them getting o...That was a lovely post and good for them getting out and about.

They are hubby George's parents and I have blogged about them. Remember? Dad is now almost 99 and sharp as a tack. Mom turned 91 in May. They were as close as two little old people could be. Everyone loved them --and they always held hands. Well--not sure you heard, but Mom died on June 6... We visited Dad (at his daughter's home) today --and he is doing okay, but is so lonely for the love of his life. They had been married for 70 years!!!!! <br /><br />Glad you are doing better. <br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-85695345298132114172011-07-13T22:12:46.087-04:002011-07-13T22:12:46.087-04:00who would chop those beauties down and then leave ...who would chop those beauties down and then leave them there? I'd have grabbed them too.<br /><br />Sweet story, I'm so glad you can see them and smile. I can't imagine how difficult the past year has been and it just didn't cross my mind at how hard it would be to see happy couples every where. It's all a process I suppose, your strength and courage to push on are an inspiration to me. take care dear one...joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112607125596693550noreply@blogger.com
