POST 1296
I’ve omitted a number of posts over the past weeks due to the overwhelming gift of caring for my wife in her last months.You may be assured that our 58 years together – 60 if you count our time dating – went by in an unfathomable flash, both in real time and lately repeatedly before my eyes.
I expect to be, more or less, ordinarily productive and even cogent on and off soon. The next Disambiguations will be Sundays only.

Very sorry to hear. Please don’t post until you feel strong in doing so. You are a light and a blessing.

My dear Jack. My heart breaks with you, my friend. The loss of a mate after six decades of being together is almost incomprehensible to me, and I’m guessing that you’re likely feeling something like Teddy Roosevelt felt upon the death of his own wife: “The light has gone out of my life.” This is a blow unlike any you’ve ever experienced, so take whatever time you need to work your way though it. Know this one thing, though. There are plenty of us out here who love you and are with you in spirit during this dark time in your life.

Hi Jack,
Sorry about the news of your wife’s health.
I met her at Allan’s wedding in Ohio just after you were recently married. I knew instantly that she was special and you were a lucky man.
Mark

I remember that, too, Mark. Thanks for your note. She was special, indeed, and I was a lucky man.
