Agreed.
Evenso we need to talk about the definition first.

Most people laughing at me that i care about everything.
But thats the way i want to be.
The world would have less problems if more people would care more imho.

Thank you Byron for your post of thanks to everyone in our lovely SETI community :)

I know it's a digression, for which I hope you will forgive me, but a number of years ago, I remember reading about a theory (relating to the way we are formed at conception and beyond) about how brain, heart and upper arm cells were all part of the same cell mass that subsequently divided and differentiated. It suggested that our hearts may not just be responding to chemical signals from the brain when we're grieve. I can't find a link to it at the moment, but I've found this in the meantime: does the heart have a memory? I've popped it here for those who might be interested. You don't have to read it if you don't want to :)

It is wonderful that both you Julie, and James, have found someone who understands your love for the soulmates that you lost... not everyone does :( and Mike :) I'm so glad you still have your true love! It's put a HUGE smile on my face :)

I'll finish by quoting Byron :)
how are you all feeling to day ???

I hope you all have a good day today.
enjoy your day
Best Wishes
Byron


+ a number WAY too big for this page! :)

Julie I know a lady here who is 93 and married for 70 years, she feels as strong about him now as back then. She said "I just know he's waiting for me when the time comes" love goes a long way.
Cheers everybody

Message 1516381 - Posted: 15 May 2014, 5:25:16 UTC - in response to Message 1516039.  

As I had lost my second wife, I know how lonely a person can be when losing a spouse. I had lost my soul mate. I know my second wife knew somehow she was going to die. Because she kept talking about, When I die if I dont like the girl you are dating I will haunt you. Well she kept her word.It wasnt untill I met my now wife, That the hauntings stopped.
So I do belive a bond can go beyond death. And I do have another soulmate.

And Julie, I have found its the, What ifs that can drive you crazy. Just be confident that You have two angels looking out for you.


Seppe wrote a poem 3 days before his death, I posted it before in the poetry corner, it was about not grieving when he dies, it was called Beautiful Flower I think, can't remember, found it on his Last FM account. I was in shock when I read it! He also knew... Difficult to find someone like Seppe, VERY difficult, we were one, and sometimes I have the feeling we still are one way or another. Have a BF now, he's a good person, didn't have an easy life either, in foster homes his whole youth... He understands very well and listens to everything I say about Seppe. He has more problems with you guys, gets jealous at times...:(
Thing is, Seppe will slowly fade away but will remain with me forever, hard to explain...

I know what you mean by the fading away Julie. My wife died in 1990. I thought of her a lot for years everyday. But as the years go by It is less. There are times I dont think of her at all. But a song, Movie, a TV show will pop a memory in my head. Nowdays its not painfull to think back.
I cant explain what I feel either Julie. But I think we both kinda know what we are saying to each other.
And your BF shouldnt be jealous, After all most of us are old codgers now:) And you could always get him to start crunching so he can join us.

Well, he made himself an account already but he can't crunch on his tablet.
Wingdi

This was the account of my husband, he never crunched either:(

Sep'

I think they both made an account to be able to 'control' me... Jeroen doesn't understand a word English and that's why I think it's frustrating for him he doesn't know what I'm writing here, he doesn't trust me:( (doesn't trust anyone for that matter:( Had a lot of discussions over it already, one time I warned him if he didn't shut his mouth about Seti, I'd break up with him! Seppe was also very jealous but he understood English...

He'll just have to accept that we are like part of your family.
We are not competing with him for your affections.
We are not, are we?

edit]Oh wait, given his background, he may have trouble with that, too. Changing fosters so often, he may well have grown up competing for attention from his "families". You may need to have a lot of patience with him.

You replied while I was editing. (8{)

I hope he is able to make the adjustment. He sounds like he might be worth keeping......

Julie I can attribute most of that to his age. In my book hes just a kid. Im not knocking him, I can remember WAY back when I was his age. Yep we guys get jealous when other men show an inkling of interest in our girlfriends or wifes.

But most of us do out grow that. When you do meet your soul mate, Those things go by the wayside. Heck there are times I tell my wife, Hey did you see that guy checking you out. Of course she always says no:)

I dont know if im wise in my old age, But I did learn a few things. The hard way most times. But what a way to learn.
