5 years ago last night Bonnie received her precious bone marrow transplant in a plastic bag of stem cells - the very gift of life, from a perfect stranger.
We were so full of hope - and we were so exhausted.
Now I am simply exhausted.
I would have thought I would be fine by now. I am not.
The shock of Bonnie slipping off the high wire we walked has worn off.
Bonnie's absence is simply more present.
I do not know what to do with my love for her.

I didn't know if you still wrote on the site or not. I'm so glad I checked it out. It touches our heart to hear how you're still trying to 'talk' to her.
You went through so much together and each challenge seemed to strengthen your love for each other, time after time.
I was glad to read that you've got friends in CA who give you support with their friendship.
Your wife will always be with you…
In your heart, in your memories,
In all the loving ways she touched
your life each day.
Someday –
Not now, and perhaps
not for a long while –
You will remember your wife
Your Bonnie,
with less sadness and more joy.
But for today,
Just know that many people
care about you
share in your loss and
wish you moments of comfort.
We think of you often and wonder how you're doing. I was not able to mail the sympathy card I'd chosen, so I'm typing the message. I hope it touches you as it did me when I chose it.
Your friends in Wellsboro, PA
Mary Lou & Ed
