I was going to let this thread die a natural death but I feel the need to thank the board members who have written and called. Over a hundred people came to pay their respects to Regina and me and I discovered that there is really nothing people can actually say that has any real meaning although they all try and pretty much say the same thing. Of course, their presence and conern is what matters. I have found that Regina had touched the lives of many more people than I realized and I have more good friends than I thought. These good and wise friends have made this time easier. As a board member said God makes people Angels even if it is for a short time or a small deed. I think he is right and I know it is beyond our comprehension or at least beyond mine.
The replies, wisdom and outpouring of love on this thread from members here have moved me deeply and have helped me cope during this difficult month.
You are right that we have been blessed with a rich and full life filled with love and accomplishment. I really do not have the right to complain since few are blessed as we were. Naturally, I wish she could have spent more time enjoying the fruits of her efforts and wisdom. I can't tell you how much I wish she were still with me to enjoy it. G-d works in ways we don't understand and I think I will learn to eventually accept it.
Bless you all,
Milt
