What Have I Been Up To

 

It has been eight months since I lost Kevin…If I had been asked before it all happened, how I would go on, I would have said I wouldn’t. You really do go through many different stages, and at first I thought I would never go anywhere or do anything. Then reality sets in..You must go on..I didn’t think I would ever want to go on facebook again or my RV Dreams chatroom. It didn’t take me long to get back into it and now I don’t know what I would do without it..It is my connection to everyone. I don’t feel alone,there is always someone to chat with.

So this is what has kept me busy…

I have had an overnight trip to Dallas with my daughter Kim to see my niece from Ma play in a hockey tournament.

Let’s see..I have been to Florida to visit with old friends…..Myself Patti and Susan

A weekend drive  to Lufkin, Tx to visit with more RV friends Donna & Keith at their beautiful home. Good friends Bob and Barb where there also. Forgot to take pictures.

Penny and I met and  had lunch with a new RV chatroom friend traveling through Houston. Trix was driving her new RV from Florida back to Washington.

Had a visit (2 weeks) with close RV friends, Mac and Nette. They helped me get settled and drove my RV to Houston to sell. We had time to visit with Penny.

I am so lucky to have the friends and family that I do. My kids and grandkids are the highlight of my life. Thank you God for giving them all to me.

Kim has a 5 day trip to Amsterdam next week and I am going with her. We will be spending Thanksgiving there. I have never been, and look forward to exploring.

So, as you can see I have kept busy. Don’t get me wrong, it is hard, very hard. In fact, it actually gets harder as time goes on.  I miss Kevin every moment of every day. I talk to him frequently and I feel his presence with me all the time!!

Hi Arlene,
I don't know if my comment posted, so I will try again. So glad to hear you are keeping busy visiting with friends. We really enjoyed our visit with you and will have to do that again soon. Going to Amsterdam sounds great! Be sure and post lots of pictures. Happy Thanksgiving!
