Sad news from Desert Joe

 GOSH,,,,what a great and caring bunch of fellars for all your kind words that mean so much to this old boy,,,,I just been kinda moping around and not getting much done and I know I gotta get on with life,,,cause I know that is what she would of wanted me to do.

 I started out cleaning her dressers and kept finding stuff that brought back too many memories so,,I'll get back to that some later,,chit,,I been sleeping in the den for the last 2 1/2 years so what can be the hurry now?? They came and picked up the hospital bed that Medicare supplied and the room looks so dang empty!!! I had taken out the King size bed when she had to have a hospital bed,,,but I ain't putting that big old thing back in there,,,,Guess I'll settle for a queen size cause a full is too small,,,,

  This coming Tuesday, Jon and I are flying to North Dakota to take her back to her homeland to be buried next to her Mother. That was what she wanted so that's what I'm gonna do for her.

 I hope to get my chit together and start checkin in with all you GREAT  guys,,,I need somebody to shoot the chit with besides them two yorkies,,,,we gots a regular menagerie here anymore,,,we gots 4 dogs,  8 cats in the garage, 3 chickies and two ducks,,,,,

 I love ALL OF YA'LL,,,,,,

 Well, Friends,,I'm sitting here at 3:40 in the morning, wondering what's next for me. All the great and caring folks here that called or expressed their concerns on the loss of my wife of 53 years., I want to express MY heartfelt THANKS for your concerns. Like I told JC, I had misplaced my little white book with all my passwords, so I could not sign on to thank every one of you all, altho, I'm grateful that Darren has the site fixed to allow me to "look in" and kinda keep up with the goings on altho I could not post after being gone so long. and I Thank him,,,,,

 My world is different now that she is gone and I expect I'm gonna have to adapt to life on my own. My heart hurts so much because we shared so much all those years. I don't like that I would get mad at her for not going to Dialysis, but now I realize how much losing her right foot affected her and recent health issues almost assured she was soon going to lose her other foot as well.

 I have a lot of financial stuff that I am going to have to take care of with all the hospitals and Doctors, Specialists that cared for her all those years.  She was the family secretary for many years and she saved EveryThing! In my initial cleaning of our dressers, I'm finding lots of OLD receipts and a lot of them have mine or her SS number and some also have our bank account number even with routing number,,,,what a haven for the scammers of today,,!! Guess I'm gonna have to get a burn barrel as our bank does not have the big shredders for everything I got to get rid of.

 I hope to get back on here and BS with all of ya'll again when I get all done with what needs to be done. Thank you for listening.

Joe Rivera and family, our condolences for the loss of wife and mother.

 Joe, we are thinking of you my friend, and if you feel you need to talk,  phone is on 24-7.
