[QUOTE="tishthedish, post: 660131, member: 17103"] Lil and Jabber, Once our sons were gone my husband and I were amazed by the silence. We were out of touch with both of them for a while so there was no ongoing news or issue to talk to death. The talk about them just sort of dwindled until there was nothing left to say, unless we wanted to stir up old stuff and no, we didn't. We had already lived it. Once was enough. I would catch husband sitting watching TV and say, "Are you bored?" He'd reply, "No, are you?" and I'd say, "No!" We both liked the quiet. Now with our grandson living with us, our life is anything but quiet. I look back on that time, with all its uncertainty and dashed hopes lying in shreds around us and still remember the peace and dignity of living a life...my life...our lives together with love and respect and absolutely no drama. I hope you find peace and revel in it for as long as you can. [/QUOTE]
