I really can't say anything that the others have not already said, so i wont. I admire your strength to move on from something such as this. I have personally never went through something as tremendous as this. Im sure words from a total stranger offering condolences are of no help, but you have them anyways. And although i am not one to reply to others life stories, i felt the urge to let ya know that im sorry for your loss, and hope only good things for you.
I also hope to see you around the board from time to time. Although we do throw up harsh comments to one another at times, we are all generally decent people. This is shown by the support we offer to complete strangers in times of need. And nothing helps ease the pain more than laughing, and that, we can definatly help you with here. damn, that sounded much kooler in my head than it did in print. :-)
Everything that i would say has been said by the 2 before me. So ill leave it at that. And I am sure Kevin could not have put it better than the 2 before me. We're here for you...complete strangers on a web board...complete strangers who do care.
once again, it sounded much much better in my head(and i wonder why i cant write a decent screen play!!!!)
it is truly a loss to lose the one you love, the one person who understands you completly, the one person who compliments you as a person. but it is a great reward to know that, if you play your cards right, you will spend for-freaking-ever with said person...that is truly awesome when you think about it. Think of it this way...when you DO get to be with your wife up there, she'll be able to show you around the joint. how kool is that? totally kool.
if anything i have said offends you or upsets you, im sorry...i just wanted to offer my condolences and try to throw in a few subtle laughs in the process. laughing is pretty kool, and has helped me through alot.

putting my regular 'the goonies' reference on hold, a kind of moment of silence, if you will.......
