[nagdu] some adventures and more

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Yeah Bibi,
My Mom is going throough what you are going through.  She keeps her days 
busy and the time of her missing her husband of almost 64 years comes at 
night.  There's just her and her cat now in the house.  My Mom has a great 
support system of friends, family, and church.  This is something you won't 
get over overnight.

It is good that Odie has seen your husband's body.  It is closure for him as 
animals do have an understanding of death. They mourn as we do.  They see a 
lifeless body and understand it as final.  It is good that Odie has you so 
you two can be support for each other.

You are in my thoughts and you will do fine and so will Odie.  Take care and 
live life one day at a time.  Maybe Spring will come your way soon. 
Yesterday, my sister told my Mom that the temps were in the teens in Fort 
Collins, CO!  So glad landon and I are in San Diego!  Today it is cool and 
cloudy with temps to be mid 60s - a heatwave for you.

Best,

Lyn and Landon
