What is it about April of this year…i am now reading of so many of our members who lost their partner this April, including this was when i lost mine…my Richard 11th April…we met in later life, we had 20 years together, he had not long reached 74, I am 68…
Jackie…
I’m always going to hate April 1st, the day I gave the doctors consent to stop the vasopressors keeping my sweet Rhonda’s heart beating.
She had fought so hard. She was a tough but kind, caring, beautiful, sexy woman. I am grateful I got to spend 21 years with her.
It was our second time around, neither of us were looking for a relationship. We met in an internet chat room in the days when it was still rare. There was an instant connection even though we lived on two separate continents 5,000 miles apart. We were married to other people at the time, the relationship should have been impossible. At her memorial service in Oklahoma City I had one of “our” songs played, Shania Twain “Still the One”. It has the words about they said we’d never make it but just look at us going on.
Rhonda was and still is “The One” and I miss her so bad.
She was barely 61 when she passed, I am 64 this year, we were meant to have another 21 years together at least. She worked for thirty years as a nurse for the same hospital group in Oklahoma City. I guess God wanted a real life angel to help out in his Kingdom. I know for a fact she is still watching over me now she has her heavenly wings. That’s all that keeps me going.
Prayers and good thoughts Jackie,
Take care, Carl.
Yes Jackie April, I lost my soul mate, my lover, my confidante in April, never thought I’d lose him. I never thought about death, I still can’t get my head around it, I thought we’d be here forever, content in our lives, just doing normal everyday things. How our lives have changed, it’s 4 months today, that I lost him, not a single day goes by without me shedding tears over him. I keep telling his photo, that if he knew how much I was suffering he wouldn’t have left me. Xx

…he didn’t leave you intentionally, same as my Richard, he always told me, he was all i had got, and it was true, we both agreed to that as others had abandoned me…Richard believed it was his " duty " to look after me from day one when we first met…

…what a beautiful sentiment…" I guess God wanted a real life angel to help out in his Kingdom. I know for a fact she is still watching over me now she has her heavenly wings…"
Yes once a nurse, always a nurse, always caring for others…

Hi Jackie, just wanted to add my thanks to you for reminding me that my husband didn’t leave me intentionally. He had worrying thoughts during his illness but when asked, would respond that he had promised my Dad he would always take care of me. We were a double act for 42 years, married for 38. I send love and strength to all who come to the forum today and to our guardian angels, who are just close by, xxx
