About My Marie
- Details
Three days ago I was told that my Marie passed away a week earlier. I am in shock. I didn't know that she was sick. I didn't know that she had been fighting cancer for 2 1/2 years. She didn't tell me. Why didn't she tell me?
This website blog is just for me to deal with the sudden realization that Marie is gone/ to create closure for myself. For the past three days I am trying to breath and trying to understand. So ultimately if I am honest, this blog is not about Marie at all. It is about me and my thoughts and feelings in trying to work through losing the person I felt I was closest too at the time. In fact, that time was 13 years ago, not recent. But, my belief is that all time is now, all memories in my head are now. Memories don't pass along the linear timeline that we live through our lives.
My Marie is Gone
- Details
For three days now I wake up and realize that Marie is gone. My brain can't accept it. How is this possible. Marie is a part of me. She lives in my head. I believe that when you get so close to someone part of your spirit enters their spirit and their spirit enters your. You truly become a part of each other. And when that part is gone, it still is in you and slowly you either try to keep it or try to let it leave your spirit. Time has nothing to do with it.

The Good
Marie was good. She was a very good person.She worked hard and did everything she needed to do. Once a week she mowed the lawn, she cleaned her house and did her laundry. Cleaning the house meant washing all the floors, washing down all the cupboards and the counters and even cleaning the bathtub which she almost never used. I know because since I was at home I offered to do these things every Friday.
Marie was kind. She had a good attitude about money. She was thrifty but didn't worry about money.
How I Met Marie
- Details
I met Marie on October 21st 2012 on a blind date. Tina, Mike's girlfriend at the time contacted me and said that through a friend Josée, there was a girl that would be a good match for me. She gave me her name and told me to contact her. Two weeks later she asked me if I did and when I said no, that I wasn't ready for a relationship. She told me again to contact her and then I did. I thought it couldn't hurt to at least meet and have a conversation.
