A complete change of career

[Vienna]

What a wonderful bloke you've got there. Hats off to him and thinking of you all xxxxx

Yes he was but sadly he passed away in 2005, too soon and too young at just 56 years old.

That's my age right now. It's too young. By the sound of your hubby, losing him was a loss to you and your family. He sounds like a man of character and humanity.

As the saying goes : Better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.

Thanks guys. Yes I`ve been very lucky to have had 2 good men in my life. The late Mr V and the current Mr V were/are men with good old fashioned attitudes to being caring, gentle, and of good character.
I never ever thought I would marry again because I was married to my late husband for 32 years before he passed away but I met a kindred soul with the second Mr V who had loved and lost in the same way I had. We both understood what the other had gone through and we talk about our late spouses with much love but without even a drop of jealousy and give each other space when their birthdays and anniversaries of their deaths come around and we just want to remember the past but never with regret about the present.

Was this the miner husband V?

Was this the miner husband V?

Sorry, meant to add that what he did was very dangerous, so very brave.

At Mr B's couisins funeral - a big lad - one of the lowerers actually 'fell in' to the grave. When Mr B told me, I thought he was having me on & I laughed (I know!) It is like an (alternative) comedy sketch.

No SB. My current hubby was a miner until the pits closed. My late hubby was a carpenter, a real craftsman of the old school of carpentry.

The common denominator is you V - you know how to pick a good’un because of the values you were brought up with and have passed on to your lovely boys.

That is exactly what I thought, but couldn't put the way you have.

I've always thought that whenever Vienna has written about either of these men. 'Like attracts like', in the best sense of the saying, comes to mind.

I love the people on here. It's a privilege to know each other.

Death is such a hard thing to deal with and speak about but we're here doing it and it's OK. Some people want to say things and others are saying it without even speaking - if you know what I mean.

I would be lost without this forum and I’m not ashamed to say so.

I use work related ones but they are very dry and judgemental.

Here we just ramble about all and everything. It just wouldnt be possible to have this range of friends (hope not being presumptuous) in RL.
