Janitor Bob Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 7 years ago today, my high school sweetheart and wife of 17 years passed away. Some of you were with me in spirit then (on old ATX forum) and offered words of encouragement. Thank you. Life is a crazy-magical thing....the door closed on that part of my life....and another opened just a few months later....affording me the opportunity to spend the 2nd half of my life with a grade-school sweetheart. During this time of year that is so filled with tax returns and clients....a take a little time to remember and be thankful. The motto I've learned to live by: "Shit happens...get over it...live happy" 14 Quote
jasdlm Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 JB, I was just thinking about that a few days ago and wondering how long it had been. I'm glad you're happy! I know you miss your high school sweetheart, but it's wonderful that you have this second opportunity. Quote
Elrod Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Keep on keeping on JB...........You're the Dude.. 1 Quote
Lion EA Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Yes, we were with you then as well as when you found more happiness. I love your attitude. It's probably why you attracted two wonderful women -- plus all of us friends, too! 4 Quote
mcb39 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 I remember that so very well and have often wondered if your second romance ever went anywhere. Apparently, it did. Blessings on you. I can't believe that it has been that long. 1 Quote
TAXMAN Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 I had 14 years with my first and 2kids. Now on my second in 1 month will be 15 years and 3 kids. Ain't life fun if you can stay out of the soup. 1 Quote
pikester1967 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 For you JB my friend! The Smile, Head Knod and Hand Shake. Just like 7 years ago. Congrats. Quote
WITAXLADY Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Good for you and yours... God works in mysterious ways Been 8 tax seasons already without my oldest son and I do so much ministry - people seem led here - this year an over abundance of those losing their spouses too soon - I'll keep you in mind - D Quote
mcb39 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 I am also having an influx of new clients who have lost someone; spouse, child and/or beloved aunt. God seems to lead them to those who understand and care. I often think about your son De. Quote
Catherine Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 I am so glad to hear this happy outgrowth from the so-sad event. May you two have many, many wonderful and happy years together, and the memory of the years with your first sweetheart stay fresh and sweet. Quote
Richcpaman Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 JB: Sorry about the anniversary of your first wife's passing away, that is a memory that will stay with you forever... Glad to here of your success since! Rich Quote
