My wife passed on May 22, 2019 of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. It's most always fatal. She suffered terribly. She was so happy & full of life. She was diagnosed at the end of March & passed on May 22nd. We had been together for 21 years. I am starting to do a little better with it now. Thinking that I should do more casting & shooting. It'll get me out of my own head. Sorry for my absence. -Pat

If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.

Pat

Yes May 18, 2019. I live in a suburb of Minneapolis.

David, forgive me but I am going to post a none shooting picture. Pat I find this picture describes my emotions many days. I took this picture on a forlorn stormy morning on Sanibel.

Jim,

That is a powerful photo. I can see how it exudes the turmoil, solitude and dreariness that you must be felling.

Thinking of you frequently.

Jim, Your photo reminds me of when I lived in Monterey, CA.. I would go to the beach at night, under full moon and watch the wave breaking. It was mesmerizing. It took me out of my head. Thank you for your picture.

If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.

I'm sorry for your loss Pat.  Your son, as I recall, a few years ago and now your wife.

With time it should get better.

Pat, my first post after being a member for two years.  I can't imagine your pain.  My wife had to be away for a week recently, and for just such a short time away from her I was in bad shape. There are no words.  My thoughts & condolences.
