82. A very short time

One of my closest friends died last year. She and her hubby made it to 59 years and two weeks when she died last year. He didn’t know what to do with himself. His kids, grandso, siblings and the rest of us friends helped to ease the pain but let him grieve.
Only yesterday he called me and he is in a much better place now. His grandson and girlfriend came home for Christmas and lifted his spirits in ways we couldn’t imagine. They took him to a live reggae show and he took them and grandson’s close friends out to lunch. What he loved most about it is that they wanted to be with him.

He says he is planning to split his prized music collection with his son and grandson. Sure he misses his beloved, but he’s in a much better place a year and three months after her death.
