Thanks for the thoughtful words Art. Your a Good friend. If you don't mind, I would like to say a few words to others out there
about caring.
Art and I worked on the same equipment at work. We handled the beeper on alternate weekends. Whenever either of us needed help or a logic board, all we had to do was call the other and without fail I or HE would be there. I must admit, I needed him the most. There came a time when retirement packages were offered,for reasons of downsizing, and who could refuse. Art would drop in at our house and spend a while while his wife Mickey was having her hair done. Then ,oneday while ckecking the obits, I saw that Mickey had passed on.My wife Flo and I went
to pay our last respects and talked a while. To my lasting shame, we went home and I let it slip into history.
On the following May , MY wife passed on, and only then did I realize the pain Art must be going through. I called, we had a long talk and I asked if I could come over. We have been going to each others homes for two years now; remembering our missing wives, going over our computer finds & faults, and going out to breakfast or lunch. The talks we have about little things we did with Mickey & Flo help us to cope. And tears are no embaress-
ment.
To me; The loss of your spouse is the end of a life; now you must begin another.
Treat your other with kindnees and attention, because tomorrow, you may need all those little memories to last you the rest of your
existance.
Sure glad I made that call!!!
