There's a road I take to and from work to avoid the freeway, and I remember the first time I found this shortcut it brought me to tears because it looked just like this. If you could've seen my face I was in awe. Now it's my favorite part of my route/day Reminds me of him

Thank you It's been tough lately. Trying not to think so hard today

I can totally relate. 2 be honest hun... the thought of being there is the only thing that get's me out of the 'funk'. I'm just waiting on my passport renewal and of course.. the tickets.

DAMN GIRLS!! You make me sound like sloth! My thing is hooping. 3lb hoop and do it throughout the day whenever I can get away from my desk. Do it until I reach 12500 on the fitbit...sometimes 15000 if I get the time. But this week is audit week and tonight will be pulling an all-nighter to beat a deadline. But this weekend going to get another hoop in a different size and start doing 2 at a time and get back up to my 12500 goal again. Might look for a heavier hoop too...make that core stronger. Yeah, I don't like to sweat too much!

I'm sorry LadyLayla, it all sounds really interesting but I have no idea what you're talking about!

I have a weighted hoop! I should start that again. I've been so...disengaged with life since April. There have been little sparks of motivation and such, but never seem to last. Hoping to spend some time outdoors this weekend, in whatever elements the weather wants to throw at me, feel like I need to fill my lungs with fresh air. Hope that helps.

Wow! Almost 20 pages 2 catch up on. Gonna be busy.

Was reading through these...feeling amongst like-minds--though still sad...then there was this...and whoa Momma..yep that right there put a smile back on my face. Though this face may have come first. Love y'all--hope that more smiles are ahead as I continue to catch up!

That is why "our" threads are so important to me and I believe, quite a few of us. In a way it's like we're keeping him here in the physical, we're keeping our old dreams, hopes and memories alive so in essence, we are also living our dreams. It is the loss of a very special part of our lives. I was lucky, I was able to meet him in 1979, he was kind of quiet, nervous, kept eye contact (simliar to PR) and smiled big when I complimented him on becoming a big worldwide star.

Now he's gone. It felt like yesterday and it's 30 odd years later.

Maybe he's been gone for some time, as I truly believe that his personal life was not as happy, fulfilled or what he wanted as he let on or what his inner circle says....if he couldn't get find his happiness, what makes me believe that I can get mine? I know, I know....Love God, read your bible....I dig it, BUT in times when I would ask myself "I wonder what he is doing"..I could always smile and go back to his music....but I now have that stone cold answer and a lot of his music of the past.

Like I said before....how are we to navigate our middle to golden years now that our shepherd is gone?

For people like me, shy as all heck, (yea, believe it) always the oddball and the one sister who isn't beautiful like my other sisters (flight attendants)...I mean shit, he made the wallflowers feel they were something beautiful, unique and desirable. Something I had to push back for the sake of my own survival for most of my life. Ain't gonna get that from Bieber, Motley Crue or David Gilmour and I wouldn't want it from them (well except for David Gilmour) either.

It's the fact that his flame is out that I'm having a hard time. It is not suppose to work this way, nobody lives forever but he was not suppose to pass at 57 either. I'm just bein a selfish bitch right now, I'm pissed and depressed that he is really gone.

Sorry for the late response, been having a really bad day just with personal stuff, my head feels about to explode from pain and fear. Nobody will ever be able to replace him and no I don't think he was happy. Maybe he is now and I'm selfish for wanting him back, just like when I lost my daughter, she wasn't happy here either. Now my grandaughter that survived and we adopted and have been raising is having a lot of emotional and other issues and she's 17 now and said she's not supposed to be here so I'm just about ready to throw in the towel myself. Her best friend last October a freshman comitted suicide and 2 weeks later a boy did also, so I'm really scared right now. I feel so alone. So losing him at this time just compounds everthing and I know thats selfish but it just makes everything hurt that much more.

Oh Mimi, I'm so so sorry to hear everything you've been dealing with. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult dealing with all those tragedies are. You're not alone sweetie, even though i can't physically offer my shoulder, it's always there for you. All of us, this is a virtual family after all. We're here for U hun! P.s. i don't think that's being selfish at all.
