It's not as simple as accepting that there will be good days and bad days. There are days when I miss Gwen terribly and want her to be with me. Then, there are days like today when I begin to feel cheerful and hopeful, knowing that Gwen will always be with me.
A friend sent this to me today: "You're not alone; even though right now you're on your own." That is the crux of the problem: learning to enjoy being on my own while at the same time not bemoaning the fact that I'm alone. Being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely. I was on my own; then I met Gwen and didn't want to be on my own anymore. She was not only in my life, she was my life; then we shared our love as we raised a family. Isn't it amazing to be able to say that for more than fifty years I was with first Gwen and then Gwen and the kids, and I was never once lonely? No wonder I can't get used to being on my own now.
On days like today, Dear, I appreciate anew just what a gift it is that we found each other. It's OK to be on my own; I'm not alone.
P. S. I looked at my page views just now, it was 11111--today,when I'm feeling what it's like to be just one, on my own. Kind of a wink from you, isn't it?
