My wife, RIP

My beautiful wife has lost her long battle with cancer. You all didn't know her, but she was a very memorable woman. Strong, funny, usually happy, always forthright, and able to light up a room just by walking in it. I will always be grateful to her for so much. She not only tolerated my Miami Vice obsession, but encouraged it, ordering me Miami Vice-related gifts online.She had a terrible battle the last several months and once I would get her settled for the night, I would sit by myself in the living room and watch an episode of Miami Vice. Sometimes I'd only get through about 15 minutes, other nights I would watch two episodes. But just as some people drink or whatever to get through something, I would watch Miami Vice. It makes sense to only a select few how a tv show could help get me through this experience, but that's exactly what Vice has done. When I most needed it, the show allowed me to 'check out' for a bit.And this is why I am planning a trip to Miami. My wife would've appreciated it and understood it. She will be watching my trip from heaven.

I'm speechless.I certainly understand what you mean by watching Miami Vice when things are tough. I've done the same thing. I guess we do it, as it brings us back to a happier time, when things were safe, and we were young and trouble free. You can escape, even for a little while, to free the mind, and not think about daily problems. I've done it. It may sound odd to those who don't understand, but I really have done this, and in turn, feel more emotion during the shows drama.I can't imagine what your feeling. I'm pretty stunned by the news. I want to do something to honor her today. Either make a toast in her honor, spend a moment of silence thinking of her, or both. I will do something, even if it's by myself, because I feel a need to do it.I am thinking of her, and you, and I will all day today. You were very lucky to have her all these years, but the real honor was she wanted to be with you just as much. She will always be in love with you.-coop

Yeash, sorry to hear about your loss man. Just remember that loved ones and friends are never really gone as long as you remember them.that's the way I look at and the way I treated the deaths of family members over my life, namely with My grandmother and my Uncle Klaus who were key in my development as a child on my family trips to germany.

So sorry for your loss buddy. It's amazing sometimes what gets us through when times are tough. I'm sure you have a lot of great memories together and it's good that she was a part of your interest in Vice. Hang in there and know that we're all here for you.

My condolences for you, pal. My mom and my dad died years ago with cancer or some collateral effects of this disease. I know how you are feeling now. : _ _ (

I'm really sorry to hear about your wife's passing CharlieGlide.My condolences.I was off the forum for a long time, dealing with many issues ongoing (including money and relatives' health issues), and was urged to see how friends were going after the bad news on Hurricane Sandy. But now I realize the obvious, that is, how tragic circumstances can and do happen regardless of other tragic circumstances.I'm very sorry, CG. I wish you a way to find peace in this sad moment.
