It takes a lot of courage to open up about personal things on a public forum. I hope that every day gets a little better for you, and you remember that you are surrounded by friends and well wishers here who hope for the best for you.
We are sometimes tested, as you have been, but your strength and courage are prevailing.
I wish you continued success in dealing with your trials, and I add my sincere condolences as well.
When I was young I always thought the older you got the easier life gets but I’ve learned that the reverse is true. My heart goes out to you. Wishing you all the best. Lovely pipe too! A pipe in her memory is a great way to honor her memory.
I'm very sorry to about all this. I had one of those years in 2013, lost two family members and a Fiancé. The grieving process is a tough road and I wish you all the best on your journey.
Orley you’re my favorite and the best of us unassuming, wife was a star, my my how sad , but I’m so glad you’ve reached out, stay in touch my dearest friend!
My condolences sir. Enjoy your memories with that new pipe. Since you got it to remember her by, I'm sure it will serve that purpose for you as long as you live.
Orley, so sorry to hear of your wife's passing, and the troubles your daughters have been having. I said a prayer of peace and blessing for all of you, and pray you will continue to gain strength and peace as time goes on. May you find some comfort in that new pipe as you think of her. Shalom
My condolences. I know from experience it's not easy. The pain won't go away...but it will get better, I promise! And the pipe is a real beauty! Enjoy it!
I am sorry Orley, and thank you for being vulnerable here...I always enjoyed the pictures you posted of the two of you. The pipe is a fitting tribute, may you smoke it with the sweetest of memories!
Good to see you back. You have my sincere sympathy for all that you and yours have had to endure. I hope that the days ahead hold peace and happiness for you.
