Not the post I want to write

But I have too.
At 1am December 18th, Japan time, my beloved husband passed away.
He had a heart attack, according to the doctor he didn't suffer and went peacefuly.
Mikey came home from his part time job and found him sitting at the kotasu table.  Mikey thought that
he was asleep until he touched him and found him already cold.  We called the ambulance but I could see that it was too late.
Friends have rallied round and I have to get through the funeral and the next couple of days, after that I don't know.  I am taking things one hour at a time.
I am not sure when I will write again.

  4. Sorry, it's me again....I'm just checking in on you. You and yours have been on my mind a lot lately.

    Your husband seemed like a really wonderful man, husband and dad. I remember reading about the beach this summer, the museum. He was wearing a hat on a post or two down below. I would often read what you wrote and smile and think, "what a great family"

    To lose a loved one any time of year is bad enough, but around the holidays is like 100 times worse. And again, I'm just so sorry. My husband is my best friend in the whole world and if he ever died, I'd be just absolutely lost. : ( I could be rambling now. So, I'll stop now. But I just wanted to say...I'm so sorry for your loss. From the bottom of my heart.

    1. Hi Gina,
      My husband was also my best friend, he drove me crazy and we would fight but sometimes the fights were just a great chance to make up!!!
      I had almost 25 years with him (our anniversary is the end of this month), alife time, a drop in the ocean. He gave me four wonderful kids, without them I would have no reason to go on! Life is hard at the moment but day by day.

  5. I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Sometimes many words at a time of grief don't help-so I will just say that I am thinking abut you and will offer prayers on you and your children's behalf.
