Life is such a cruel trickster~the things we love most are sometimes the most ephemeral. Although in some ways this is very personal for you, many others are there for you if and when you need them. Don't be reluctant to ask- even if it means just to share a meal, a movie or a walk. My thoughts are with you.
My wife passed yesterday
I just wanted to share with my Audiogon brothers that my wife of 20 years passed on 10/25/14 from a heart attack. She loved good audio and good music and she supported me in my hobby at every turn. I haven't been able to listen to any music since her death, but I hope I will find comfort in it going forward. She never at any time criticized me for spending so much on audio and she always thought I should have what I liked. She was a rare individual and she will be missed by many people.
