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.
