Thanks so much, Michael...I have had 2 wonderful husbands, so I guess fortune has been kind to me in that arena...but I never ever thought I would be going through the nightmare I am living thru right now...especially after having gone thru it with my first husband and then losing my son a year later.....so, I guess we all get some good and some bad in our lives and in the end, it probably balances out somehow. But wouldn't it be nice if we could just erase some of the bad times and make them all good again Thanks for the congrats! ~hugs~ copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Thank you so much, Martie. I am very lucky to have had his love for so long and then double lucky to have found David 13 months later.....I don't know where I would be now if not for David.....he is so kind and so good and he understands perfectly about my love for my first husband.... ~many warm hugs~ copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Lyra, you have such a loving heart. What a beautiful poem. I still love a man that I have not seen in 25years. I think real love never goes away, it gets shifted a little to make room for new but never leaves. I hope your health will improve soon. Peace Sandra |

Lyra~ Your writing is so profound and full of love, often I am lost for words while wiping away a tear. Your poetry runs deep as does the love you express. Many many hugs today and always~ |

Thirty-four years is a long time, Lyra...there was a lot of love and devotion from you to him and back again, that is so evident...and what is most evident, is that there still is.... thank you for this...it shows us that you are indeed made of the right stuff...and that you are a Keeper... |

Oh Lyra, tears, this is so so beautiful, How heartfelt this is, and you know I do understand. This is the most beautiful tribute to your first husband and I am so happy that you were there and were able to hold him and say goodbye, that is so important. I hope you are doing well. I was gone for awhile, so busy, and I have been missing reading all these lovely poems. God bless you, and congratulations on your 2500 posts. love, floria Floria |
