georgia & james

i am so tired.
but i just have to note, 
today i went back to work - wonderful, i missed the residents so.
one of the women who was in the healthcare center with her husband, 
lost him the week that i was gone.
they were married 72 years. 
SEVENTY TWO YEARS.

i got the privilege today of talking to her about her grief.
hugging her, and kissing her on the forehead. 

72 years.  wow.

she told me that dan and i would do well.
she believes if you can get through just the first year -
you can get through it all, if you really want to.

i'll take her word for it. 
she's got experience.
