Dear Anonymous from New Haven, CT.,

Who are you? You read my blog regularly, and only make negative comments. You seem to despise me for living my life while still on occasion, missing my late husband.

Do you know me?

Have we met?

Why are you so bitter?

I've always responded to your comments. I dare you to respond to mine.

This is why I switched to my own hosting... so I could ban irritating pests. I have never understood people that comment anonymously.. like that takes away the fact they have done something hurtful.

I could delete the comments if I chose to, but I'm more curious as to what this person has against me. Every single negative comment has come from the same IP address.

Honestly I have nothing against you. I just find it hard to comprehend that on one hand you love T so very much and you guys have a wonderful relationship but can still talk about such a strong passionate love for Joe. I apologize..I guess I am using my own personal experiences as a meter for your life and I shouldn't. Thanks for putting me in my place..I do enjoy your blog! Can we be friends again?:)

Dear Anonymous,

Thanks for responding. I appreciate your honesty. If I weren't a widow, I think I would probably have trouble understanding too.

The thing to keep in mind is that this blog has been my place to process how I feel/felt about Joe. In my day to day life, I don't really talk about him all that much anymore.

When speaking at work, or with friends, even at therapy, I really just talk about T at this point. Joe comes up here and there, but T is the focus of my love these days.

Even this post, I really wasn't missing Joe so much, just acknowledging what the date represented.

Glad you're not some long lost enemy of mine. :O)

Actually I feel MUCH better knowing that the day to day conversation is about T. And don't worry about me..I am probably old enough to be your mom and read a bunch of the mom blogs everyday ( my niece has one which is how I found you!). I have 2 daughters 11 and 12 and relive the younger days through all you guys. Have a nice day! Caroline ( see I am not compltetly anonymous!)

B, I wish I had your charitable touch.

Dear B,

I'm glad you are able to let those comments roll off your back. She wouldn't like my blog very much either, since I also talk about my deep love for two men. Maybe if she ever walked in our shoes she would understand.

I love what you write because you often put into words the things I feel.

Love,
Stella

Some people just don't get that you can still love and think about your dead husband and also love someone new/alive.
By the way, we didn't really break up.

Your therapist

B, I'm totally impressed- both with your post and the fact that your therapist reads!!!!!!!
