Three Years feels like yesterday
Today marks three years since my husband John died, held in my arms.
The wildfire smoke has made memories more vivid perhaps and more painful.
There was a forest fire between us and the hospital three years ago.
I love you and miss you so very much
forever yours,
David Wishart xxx

I would not have known the original upload did not work if our dear friend in Germany had not watched and told me something was wrong. She also misses her husband, he is abroad stuck in Mexico due to the virus. They are my John and my oldest and dearest friends and I know they miss eachother so very much. I hope the time comes soon when they can be together. May everyone please be well. Origina...
Happy Anniversary (first time John said yes to me)
Переглядів 194 роки тому
Wishing my deceased husband John a happy first wedding (2004 Multnomah county courthouse) anniversary. It was a long fight to become family. This is the anniversary of our first opportunity to marry. On March third of 2004 Multnomah county Oregon issued the first marriage licenses to same sex couples. We were there with thousands of others on that very first day. Hours later we were married. On...

Not sure why but my grieving for my deceased husband John has intensified again. Dreams of searching for and not finding you. I wake to realize you're gone and not merely at the grocery store. I love you.

John's birthday 2020
Переглядів 74 роки тому
I took down the funeral black wreath and symbols of mourning. I want to celebrate my sweet husband's life so for his birthday I decorated his sculpture out by the road in cheerful colors. John always chose to try and be cheerful. Also I was with John's mother on his birthday. We visited her very unwell husband in a hospital in Portland. I am privileged to help your mother. I am strong for her a...

John's Birthday 2019

My sweet husband John died in my arms one year and a little over four months ago. I miss you my love so very much. Today is your second birthday since you died. I'm heart broken but in a way it's right because I would not be this sad had I not known true love. Please come to me my love. Happy Birthday my sweet monkey.
Anniversary of John's Death
Переглядів 206 років тому
Today was the first anniversary of my husband John's death in my arms. I'm sorry for the wind noise I am still easily confused and did not remove the cover on our old tablet. My Johnny wrote and kept a journal of sorts ...writing on anything and everything he had at hand any given moment the desire struck him. Note pads to shopping bags were used. So my journal, much like his, is what it is. Un...
June 17 Portland Oregon gay pride day
Переглядів 226 років тому
I miss my husband John so very much. The last time we attended the pride parade in Portland Oregon we took a wheelchair. People were kind for the most part and allowed John to get up front so he could see. He was in so much pain from medical mistakes that ultimately hastened his death but he kept smiling and supporting equality for all people. He always knew he was a happy spirit. I love you my...

This morning, July 10, 2018, started with a meeting at our cemetery. I met with the cemetery director to finalize placement of our headstone (bronze) to honor my deceased husband John. By late afternoon the work was finished and I returned to lay flowers for John and all our family. I miss him so very much and love him and know he loves me completely too. It took so long for everything to arriv...
Small Things Make me Panic
Переглядів 226 років тому
Monday May 7, 2018 it's late at night and I've just returned from what I thought would be a safe trip to our small town local grocery. I've been going right before closing to avoid being grabbed by people I should easily recognised but I don't. It takes a moment but in that moment it's so strange and makes me know how much what ever broke in me broke. Also I go late to avoid people crying in fr...
May Day

Today is May first. I've cut flowers from our gardens to give to my husband's mother. I also received the found and repaired earring my husband's mother lost on the day of my husband's, her son's, funeral. These earrings were important to John's mother as she had given them to her mother many years ago. The jewler did an amazing job. I can't tell which one was run over by many cars in the drive...

    Thank you I hope you are well too. I've been remiss is noticing your kind comment I sincerely apologize for my likely worrying silence. I'm back here as I've felt the need to journal in this media again I found it helped me focus and also not have to carry everything others placed on my shoulders.then there were a few exceptional citizens of our shared world who had stumbled upon us this little space.... and would share a kind word an offer of hope. Thank for being kind and exceptional my friend, cheers, David Wishart

    David...I've just discovered you on youtube and have to share my own loss. Randy and I were together for 34 years then he died in his sleep. It's been two years now and still I cry, my heart aches to see and hold him again I look for signs of him, he enters my heart with songs heard on the radio. I hope and pray you continue to heal, thank you for your personal and heartfelt sharing, I see I am not totally alone. May your days be blessed. Doug

      Just found your touching note, our grief is commensurate to our great fortune to have met, love, and terminally like our guys our husband's I had written a huge long reply too personal for this public forum... for me my useless superpower tells me we're still very much connected and he's here when I didn't know I'd need something..... it is put in my path to be discovered. When my useless superpower John named this Oddity that...when it's active I know he's laughing and also protecting me as we had protected each other I looked this Oddity up only this month and who knew?.... there are peoples and cultures that pay attention to these things right now this particular useless superpower is in high drive.... the nerd that I am I calculated the odds and it's an Oddity I look at a clock when the thought hits me....what time is it? It's either thirteen minutes past any given hour or it's 12:34 am or pm Darnedest thing.... we never put any stock into this.... hence useless superpower. But I've come to welcome it because I know there's something needing done and he's making me laugh he's here and I speak of love in the present tense.... it's here he's my love and I really like him without question and know he shares this love and deep like. We knew we had to meet this guy we had heard about......each of us first heard of the other being described in unflattering terms but by different men...in two different cities... we both had the same thoughts This person has no idea what they have decided to toss aside We both knew I've got to find this man he's wonderful he's perfect Two years we looked for one another and when he walked into that near empty tavern where I would stop daily between busses because I had decided I wanted to teach myself how to play pool... he had come to the city to drop off his entry into a juried useful art show called table lamp and chair ... images of his work...slides remember those? He entered he looked up to the mezzanine at me where I was being easily defeated by a seven foot tall proud drag queen...and she was doing this while wearing six inches of heel six inches of magnificent hairdo....and she confessed they were Lee press on finger nails the longest ones It's so vivid we knew from that first gaze upon one another.... I've been looking for you for two years ...we were never apart from that moment... he is amazing and hasn't seased to amaze me. If you have too few men in your world who welcome you speaking of Randy speaking of sadness worries the difference I'm sure you've observed between the depth the genuine love now different .... when you've witnessed the brevity of others morning the death of their spouse if they did... how swiftly the clothes were removed and the shoes thrown away no longer under his side of the bed... how quickly there isnt even a side of the bed that remains If you find yourself wanting to speak freely not just to yourself and Randy.... but out loud to someone who welcomes you speaking of loss and love, and the birthday being more difficult ... I welcome hearing a brother's story to hear about the blue days.. hear of what was revealed... Who ran away and who if any ran towards you. Please be well as you can ....if stiffeled to speak when you really need to give voice to your husband dying .....I welcome you to speak freely to me and if doubt creeps in as you grieving continues..... those who may not want to hear it anymore were not as fortunate as you and Randy.... that should remind you to hold no doubt. And thank you for offering me the understanding and sincerity I so wish you never came to know this pain. And it was so kind of you to afford me some comfort some understanding when you yourself were suffering Randy's absence the lose of his counsel the comfort of his embrace the way John's nape of his neck no matter what.... always smelled so lovely, heavenly...I'd ask how do you do that every time thank you for this act of kindness I've only just discovered my friend, sincerely and with deep profound sympathy, David Wishart Dan savage wrote a short piece about why we can identify and empathize sincerely and are current on all things heterosexual.......short answer: we had and have no choice.... and yet the best of the very best heterosexual family or friend can't truly identify are not well informed . yet the best of the
