Today is just one of those days where I wanted to talk about how grateful I am for my fellow widows.

The women that pull me out of a funk, the women that give me hope, the women that know the unspoken words in my heart, the women that know the depth and never-ending length of my love.

I’ve tried to make sure and not imagine the “what-ifs” in life, but I must say that I would not be who I am or what I’ve become without each of them.

Each have come into my life at different points since Michael’s death, but with each I’ve been able to have that moment where we looked into each other’s eyes…all differences set aside…to say the words that would make us feel alive once more….understood on a planet we once felt alone on….

“You too!?”

 

 “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one’.”

-C.S. Lewis
