You don't make a commitment of 18 years and end it without caring for someone in some way. Many readers of this blog do not know that I was married for 18 years. She and I ended that 18 years in 2007 on somewhat of an amicable level. Her children and I still communicate to this day -- it was her son who called me at about 5:13pm yesterday with the news.
"She's gone," he said when I answered my cell yesterday. I asked whether he had told his sister first. "She was in the room when Mom died." he said tearfully.
She passed away....painlessly, which made all of us very happy to hear. She had been battling with fibromyalgia along with other things, including a stroke. We knew her days were numbered, glad the waiting was over for all of us.
There will be tears, but life will go on. I went to Job Club this morning as she would have me do. Of anyone in my life she always thought I deserved more, because of the skillset I posessed. So very few recognize that, I hope more will, even in this job market.
