"Another wonderful day with you."
Just to tell everyone that I'm surviving okay. It's really hard to lose someone so caring and supportive. Iain was indeed the sun of my life. It feels like the world is in the shadow all the time now.
Iain had been always positive. He was very good at encouraging people as well. Maybe I had relied on him too much for being happier. I'm also an optimistic person basically but now I have to learn to live cheerfully without him.
The other day I was remembering the phrase he once suggested me to say when I woke up in the morning. He said, "Why don't you say 'Another wonderful day with you' to me?" I kept saying that for a while but then sadly the habit slipped away.
Indeed those days were wonderful days with him. If you are happily living with someone, husband, wife, partner, children, friends or pets, it'll be nice to say this every morning because it really is another wonderful day with them.
Well - even if it's quite hard to live with them it's nicer to say "Another wonderful day with you." rather than "Another horrible start of the day with %&'$#!" isn't i? Actually come to think of it, maybe one summer morning Iain thought about the unbearable heat and humidity, disgusting Japanese food and then his unkind wife and he almost said to himself, "Another hor.....!" and then stopped and thought about a positive way to put it, eh?

Greetings from the rainy north coast of California!
Thank you for this posting, Edera. It always feels good to hear something new about Iain from your perspective. It's also important to us to hear that you are making your way. We think of you often.

Don't give yourself too hard a time, Edera. It's OK to be sad. What could be more natural than to feel as you do right now. It must be very tough. One day, or even one minute, at a time.
Dear Edera,
It was very good to read your post. I really appreciated your telling this story about Iain, and indeed, all my memories of Iain have the positive quality that you speak about. I guess it is a testimony to your love for Iain that you now have to endure such pain. You are much in my thoughts.
Bob
