I lost my own wife to cancer three months ago, but I've been reading your Dinner For One essays all along. I was drawn to them, I suppose, because on some level I knew what was coming for some time, regardless of how hard we fought against letting it happen. I've been told so often that the only thing that helps is the passage of time. It's only been about three months for me, but so far I am not inclined to agree with this sentiment. It's hard to imagine ever getting over this. But it helps a little bit to read the eloquently expressed thoughts of someone on a similar journey. So thank you for this and all the other entries. I will continue to read any others you might post in the future.

I am truly sorry for your loss, Bryan. Three months? Then I suppose it's only really starting to sink in. You want to talk, you know where to reach me.
