Hello Guys, About My Wife Doni,

[Audi1]

Very sorry to hear about your loss, John. People often times show strength well above what the medical experts say is possible; particularly when they have to do something that’s very important to them, like hit an anniversary date. Rest In Peace, Doni.

Sorry for you loss. I can only imagine what it would be like if I lost my better half after 40 years. It was hard enough just going back to Indiana the last two times to only watch my parents die. My prayers go out for you and all I can suggest is that you can use the slot cars to help pass the time better for I'm sure Doni would like that better.

Thank You all for the kind words and support. It is a hard road to go down right now, but I do have my Family there to support me along with some friends. It's really hard to say how I am doing as it changes through out the day. But I am hanging in there. one of the kids just called and is on his way over to run some laps on the oval, so I'll see if I can get some pics..

Thanks Again Guys, John W.

A favorite Beatles lyric is - "and in the end the love we take is equal to the love we made". First time I heard it I was in the middle of a breakup in high school and it made me cry. Since then I think of it whenever grieving the loss of a loved one, realizing the sadness is proportional to the love, and is like the shadow it casts. Perhaps the only thing worse than the sense of loss would be never having had quality relationships or grown the love in the first place.

I’ve tried to put some thoughts down, but am unable to come up with anything that would offer you comfort at a time like this. You are in my thoughts and prayers. One breath at a time, one day at a time, until the memories are gifts for a life well lived. My wife and I have been together 33 years, so I can relate to your tremendous loss if I imagine my life without her. Thank you for being brave and sharing your loss. It reinforces the importance of living and appreciating those you love the most.
