To day is a lousy day

So if you read anything in the From the Corner Of Two Dirt Roads blog you know that my husband and the love of my life, Ed passed away in 2012 unexpectedly. I remarried and we were full time RVers until I found out that Jim had a girlfriend. He got a girlfriend so I got an apartment. In Virginia. 2 doors down from my best friends. I could not have gotten here without Monica and David. She is with her grandson today. David needed stuff at a big box lumber store and I get a military discount thanks to Jim’s 20 years of service so I went with him. David and my Ed were a lot alike. Builders, makers, do’ers. I was looking around the store and thinking I want a guy that is a do’er. Someone who can build stuff. Someone that can make all of the projects in my head. Someone who enjoys that kinda stuff. It I want him to be tall, good looking, someone with older kids, read no child support, someone like David. Someone like Ed. I want Ed. I realized today how much I miss my Ed. I came home and started painting my crown molding. Had to sit down. Decided to put up my towel bar and just couldn’t do it. I yelled “Ed I can’t do this!!!!!” And heard silence. And cried.

Now I am writing this all out and when I am done I will go finish painting and hang my towel bar and carry on.
