Al,

So good to hear from you. I can only imagine how difficult loosing Linda still is for you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, as I am sure many others who shared your journey still do.

"May the rain fall softly on your fields.....
May God hold you in the palm of your hand."

So good to hear from you

and glad you checked in because so many think of you. I know it's hard to move on because you and Linda had something extraordinary. No one could have asked for a more supportive, courageous partner than you were through her journey.You will never forget her and you've honored her in so many ways. I pray for peace for you and yours. You have to move on with your life, Linda would want that. Socialize, lose yourself in some other things and I think that will be helpful. Be well and please check in now and then to let us know how things are going.

Al,

I think of you often and miss your posts. I do know that you and Linda had something special and it will take time for your heart to heal.
