Thanks everyone, I'll be alright. Joe,Jr is here for the week to help me out. To be perfectly honest I expected this to happen some day because of Denise health, just didn't expect it so soon. BUT I will tell folks this, if it wasn't for modern medical technology I would have lost her 15-20yrs ago so I'm happy to have had her in my life for so long.
I met Denise 45yrs ago, her sister was dating a friend of mine. Fast forward, we met up again after not seeing her after for about 6-7yrs & about 4-5 months later we were married. We had our ups & downs, we loved each other like two young kids, fought like cats & dogs a few times & she even asked me for a divorce a time or two. Thankfully we worked things out. We had lots of fun going to car/truck shows over the years and traveling throughout the midwest. We had 3 children, some of you know we lost our twins Nicholas & Natalie after birth and they would have been 30yrs old this past Thanksgiving. Our son Joe,Jr was also born 14wks early but grew up to do 8yrs in the Marines, got married to a beautify woman & gave Denise & myself a handsome grandson.
I am very thankful that Joe & his family could be here & visit w/her in the hospital && thankfully she was well enough that she didn't have a bunch of tubes/IV & what not running in & out of her during their visit. I am even more grateful that I was able to spend 3hrs w/her the last day. We talked about visiting the kid & his family this spring & was going to do some traveling once Marge was finished.
Some plans have changed others haven't. Denise did want me to do two things no matter what the out come is. I've done the first, she told me to get a haircut. Now it's time to take care of the 2nd request. Not going to be an easy road to travel & it will dig up horrible feelings I don't want to have, but I must fulfill my last promise to her && I will in due time.
Thanks again folks for the kind words....joe
