lovelylass3: Hi Guys met a really lovely guy on here and we clicked straight away, Turned out he used to be a neighbour and we never met. Things were travelling at high speed when a brick wall appeared. He emailed me a lovely note on friday then went out for a run and someone found him dead from a heart attack : sad_flower: Lesson for the new year, accept love when it comes around with open arms, never know how it's going to end , but enjoy the special moments as they come. Love to all and may you find the sort of joy my man and I had for too short a time.
That's a sad story!
But life goes ahead no matter what.
And you are absolutely right: Give love a chance do not doubt. We may regret it later ps ( but always trust your gut feelings)
So very sorry lovelylass3. You have insight as is proven by your statement about love so soon after losing him. I will pray for you for some weeks and if you don't believe in prayer, that's okay as long as I do. No one can say anything to stop the greiving just yet. Hope you go through the stages of greive so you stay mentally healthy and can move on. I give you a heap of credit to write what you did starting thread. I wouldn't be ready to say much that makes sense so soon after hearing the news. Be well and greive and then when ready move on. At least you know what love feels like. If you ever want to discuss it deeper, your welcome to write me if there is no one.

I thank you for your offer of prayers . I have a firm belief in a higher power than ourselves and that is where I get my strength from.. A friend today suggested that Bob was my earth angel sent to teach me that I am worthy of the best love, life has to offer and show me I have the same to give. For this I will always be grateful along with the kind words I have been offered to day from my new CS Friends... Bless you all.

Just the other day someone told me to "enjoy the moment" for sometimes I let my fears and insecurities get in my way.
Thanks Dreamyone for the hug and the rose. It has been a crazy week , but not all bad . I got to meet his daughter and son in law and they are just lovely, The funeral is tomorrow and now we have met it won't be so uncomfortable. In fact I actually have his ex wife staying for 2 nights as they are from out of town and she has a son from her second marriage with her, much easier on his family if they don't have to think about finding accomodation.. Feeling all a little bit surreal actually,I would imagine he would find the whole set up most amusing.. but hey it's all about him isn't it?
I was unaware for I just came back to CS & sorry to hear as I can relate. We unfortunately lose sight of things sometimes in this rat race world & take life for granted.

I thank you so much for your kind message. There really are so many lovely people here on CS.. I feel so extremely lucky to have been so fully accepted by his daughter at such a sad time in her life. It must be so hard for her to lose her dad, and then have to meet this strange woman that had come into her dads life as well.

your always welcome lovely...
here you go it's astrange phenomena that when you loose someone in return there is always someone who can fill that space... you lost a great friend and found a new one a biological copy of your friend... may you both can help eachother through this difficult time period and in future you both may share many happy moments together....

totally agree...
you never going to know what comes next but way to go through it is to cherish and treasure every moment you have... and be expressive when life is giving you a chance to do so...

My mom’s companion due to a past brain injury was involved in an auto accident. He blacked out and stepped down on the gas pedal upon approaching a red traffic signal. Nobody else was seriously injured but the impact left him paralyzed from the neck down. He never made it out of the trauma unit and moved on after a week
They did so much together from weekend trips to local wineries. Dinner at moms was always here more wine or try this one. lol... I was happy for them both and felt comfort knowing that she would most likely have the security and intimacy with him in her final stage of life. Sadly, this wasn’t to be.
He was from upper NY and arrived here for career purposes years ago. The only family in town was one of his sons. So when it was time for the celebration, mom and especially myself having not met any of the family expected to feel some discomfort. After the meet and greet and some conversation with his immediate family, the discomfort was unfounded. These were warm, caring people here to celebrate the life of a loved one. I remember looking over at mom and smiling and she smiled back knowing exactly what I meant.
Although this happened a few years ago, I tend to remember the event during the Christmas holiday season as this is when it took place.Your thread and the circumstances parallel in some ways and was again a reminder. So I understand and my condolences to you and the family. I imagine the celebration will be warm and accepting.
