I'm just rambling a bit. It helps me cope. Losing James is just damn unbearable. He loved me totally and unconditionally, and was always there for me. He truly was my "soul mate." I have never loved anyone the way that I love him. Everyone keeps saying it will get better, I honestly do NOT believe that. At all. Not one fucking bit. It seems to me that it is getting worse. The feeling of hopelessness is overwhelming. Crying 1/2 the night, the lack of sleep, being ...
While I was trying to figure out what I would do with the 3A, I tore it down with the intent to clean it and figure out what would stay and what would go.
