I'm thinking of going away during the weekend in August that would have been my 23rd anniversary with Beautiful Wife. The date really only means something to me now but I'm not sure how to spend it.
I've thought about going to some place fun like Key West, or Quebec City but then I started to worry that those places would forever be tainted by the self-pitying weekend I spent there right after my wife died.
I'm not really a wallow in self-pity type of guy, but still...why take the chance? I just know that I don't want to be around here with everything that reminds me of what we had and would have had together.
I guess I'll do what is contrary to my nature...wait until the last minute to decide and not make any travel plans until then!
Posted by bbarton at July 14, 2006 11:33 AMKaty - good advice! I'm sure it will be pretty last minute because of how uncertain I feel about everything. Widower brain is about the same as kids sucking the intelligence out of your brain. :)

Okay, so here is my suggestion, why don't you go somewhere that will keep you really busy......that may help keep your mind busy as well. Maybe I don't know, Vegas? C5ap, I just know that the day will be very sad for you and you know, rightfully so. Maybe you should just let yourself wallow (is that spelled right? Is that even a word? Please bare with me....these kids are sucking the intelligence right out of em)in the day. Seems totally and completely acceptable to me. Oh, I know....go skydiving.;)
