Time with Kirby...

Well I did it today…All week I have been watching Kirby (Claudette’s husband (Claudette being the one that just died)) tinker around in the pasture cutting brush. I have left him alone as I know he was trying to deal with Claudettes death and did not want to bother him…Today I took Jake with me and walked down there….We hugged each other and just cried…We both miss her sooo much but Kirby more so….They were married 52 years…We sat down and I listened to Kirby…I think it was the right time to go see him. He needed to talk and I needed to be with him…Michael came down after awhile with his tractor and we started laughing at his antics…I’ve decided that once a week I’ll go out there and help him or just sit and talk…Michael, Jake and I can entertain him for a bit and ease his pain for a few moments…

Good for you Wen. It's always such a difficult situation. A weekly visit sounds great.
