I visit her every day at the cemetery. All the things I should have done when we were still together. I have so many regrets............

She was my best friend and a golden moral compass to me.

Not sure why I'm spilling my feelings out on RS, of all places, and in this thread, but maybe it will finally help in the healing process.

Although she is gone, she will always, always be a big part of who I am. She found my sense of humour weird, but she stuck with me with all my faults, and guided me.

I try to keep my chin up. Keeping busy and humour does help. And no, I will not go to therapy............. RS is my therapy.

All you RS'er with loved ones - NEVER take anyone for granted. One day, you will be without. Hopefully it will never happen to you. I wanted to grow old with the girl who stole my heart. Didn't get the opportunity. I did, however, spend a good 3 decades with her......... actually, I've known her all my life. She grew up two blocks away from me.

Anyway........... keep on keeping on.

And where's the salt, goddamn it!

I don't think you need salt anymore. Your heart is warm enough to melt all the ice and snow around you. Both literal and metaphorical.
