Hey you guys, this is my old pal, KP. Welcome him back, and let's get him smiling again. He is a great person.

Huggs KP so good to see you again. I for one have missed you. How was the soup kitchen work? My gosh what a thing to throw yourself into. When you coming north hehehehehe

If wallowing was what you needed to do for a while, then that's okay.

Any way you handle your grief is okay. It's yours and nobody can go

through it for you, unfortunately.

I'm glad you're on here again. Montana is just about my favorite state

of all. Love it love it love it. Maybe you could tell us a little about it!

Hang in there.

Welcome to the forum!! BTW your wife didn't leave you. She may have passed away, but she would have never left you.

Welcome back KP. Glad to see you posting again. I bet you have some interesting stories about the people you meet at the soup kitchen. Perhaps you can share them sometime.

Wow, welcome back! So sorry to hear about your wife. I just lost a dear friend two weeks ago to cancer. So sorry to hear of your loss. Glad you are here, though.
