26 years ago...

 August 9, 1997

A couple of the neighbors found his body sitting back
on the couch in the living room. He'd put a shotgun to
his forehead and somehow pulled the trigger.

...I kept hesitating to bring this up again. And, really,
I wouldn't have thought about it if I hadn't come across
his photo by accident. Seems that it's going to nag at me
until I just put it to bed one more time.

If anyone is interested in the ugly details, then look to
the right and click on the Blog Archives for 2007. Scroll all the
way down to May 29, 2007 "It's All About Choices - Epilogue".

This is him, sitting in Capt. Tony's Saloon in Key West:


They preach about
"forgive and forget".
I mostly have the "forget"
part down pat.
"Forgive" not so much.

Still praying for you Jean. I can't even begin to put myself in your shoes to know how you feel.

It's so incredibly difficult to lose a husband.

And to know that it was intentional... Girl, I just can't.

Sending you hugs.

Life certainly is not easy. I totally understand "'...mostly have the forget part down pat. Forgive not so much.'" All i can offer is love and hugs, Jean.
