The Scary Thing Is
- Details
My last contact with Marie was by text in 2021. It seems like just a short time ago. She did not have cancer then. She did not know it was coming. So the scary thing is what don't we see coming. Today I am fine and everyone around me is fine. But what is coming?
What is Real?
- Details
Woke up today, day 4. Realized that Marie can't wake up. Where can she be? Is she in another world? Is she in space as an energy floating around with 90 Billion other souls who have died? The nice answer we all want is that she is reunited with her dad and is feeling only beauty and a higher level of peace. That would be nice.
Day 3
- Details
I am definetely in mourning and still in disbelief. Marie not letting me know was either to spare my or it was that she truly forgot about me. I think she forgot and wiped out our memories. She was black and white like that. She could turn off and walk away. Because she didn't think about things. She operated on a todo list and not a feelings list.
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.

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.
