Friends are worth it
Becki - I just decided I’m going to use that poem for our 40th wedding
anniversary bash 11/4/00 (in conjunction with my 50th *coma* anniversary
celebration). That poem is my husband. We laugh that we’ve been married 39
years - 3 of them happily. Not too far off the mark. But reading that over,
it is certainly my hugsband. With a cranky, impatient, not-knowing-BG wife
loaded down with 2 babies 10 mos. & 14 days apart - I wasn’t a pleasant
person for anyone to live with. I understand why many diabetics are
divorced. My hugsband just tolerates things (too much though - cause I have
to step in a take over many times - arrgghhhhh). But this poem you sent is
his discription. THANKS!!
Jan
You’re…
My friend,
My companion,
Through good times and bad
My friend,
My buddy,
Through happy and sad,
Beside me you stand,
Beside me you walk,
You’re there to listen,
You’re there to talk,
With happiness,
With smiles,
With pain and tears,
I know you’ll be there, throughout the years!
You are all good friends to me and I am grateful to you.

Dear wOW,
You two deserve praises for sticking it out. There must have been a pretty
strong bond to make it through. I love when you call him your ‘HUGSBAND” I
wish I still had one!

What happened to your husband??
Jan
I was married for 13 years and one night out of the blue he came home from a
softball game and decided he didn’t want to be married anymore! We went to a
therapist and she said he was in a depression and he refuse meds. I begged
and tried eveything to work it out, but he didn’t want to. I wasn’t aware of
any major problems. He could never tell me what happened. After one year
separation I went to a lawyer because I wanted to become a foster parent and
I didn’t want him involved in the home study or anything since he wasn’t in
my life. When he was served with papers.he cried and begged me to forgive
him. We got back together for 3 months, but he wouldn’t talk much…..was
still depressed and I felt he was home in body but not spirit. So we
divorced. I am glad he is not part of my life but to this day I would like to
know what happened. Anyway, I would not have my 3 children if we were
together!
I also have great faith and I believe God used that situation for good
because I did turn to HIM and I believe it was HIS plan for my kids and I to
become a family! I DO miss sharing my life with a partner, though. I have had
relationships but nothing permanent.
I had a full term stillbirh and a 3 mo miscarriage and I think this really
affected my ex. He would consider another pregnancy after that! He has since
remarried and has never had any children.
Sorry this is long…..I haven’t thought about all this in many years. I have
been divorced since 1986.

Forgive me for dredging it up. Hope this hasn’t disturbed you.

Oh, not at all…I am way over the hurt. Like I said the good Lord has a plan
and This must have been part of it. Not for us to divorce but to make some
good of it. My FAMILY!
Just drank 8 oz of orange juice. I will report in 15 min.
