Beginning and end

I had a love marriage. Ran away from the house and had a registered marriage. We had to meet the lawyer at 11 in the morning but I had to leave the house at 7 am since I did not want anyone in the house to know that I was not going to work that day. My to-be-husband was sitting on a bench waiting for me at the railway station. We sat there for an hour talking and then went ahead to meet the lawyer and get married. Ironically 12 years later I was made to sit on the very same bench waiting to take possession of my husbands body. He had met with a railway accident. Isnt it ironical that my married life started and ended on the same bench. What a strange coincidence.

Thanks. And yes when I get such encouraging words I feel more brave and ready to take on the world no matter what. Guess what! After sharing my experiences on myLot for the last few days I am feeling much better emotionally. Probably feeling this good after many years. Thanks to all my friends on mylot!!

I am so sorry for your loss. It is a very strange coicidence indeed but all I can say is that at least you had the courage to make your own decision about your life and marry the man that you loved and who you chose for yourself and I hope you have 12 wonderful years of beautiful memories of your time together. I hope both of your families came around to your marriage eventually and accepted that you had the right to make your own choices and appreciate how much you made each other happy. May he rest in peace and I hope you have the strength to carry on with life without him by your side. xx

I have had a wonderful 12 years with two beautiful children. But my family has still not forgiven me. My inlaws were very good to me and we at my side when my husband expired. Today I am more close to my husbands family than anyone else.

I am sorry to hear your family were not able to forgive you. All I can say about them is that it is their loss - they have missed out on 12 years of your life and that of their grandchildren. I am pleased though that your in laws are there for you and have been there for you as families should. You can at least have their support from here on to bring up your children. Thanks for the BR on my response. God bless you and yours. x

Thanks to the wonderful life we had together I now have very good memories to help me go thru life. And my mother in law was the one who helped me get thru when I was depressed. She is no more but I will always remember her words.

I'm sorry to hear this sad story. I hope all would get well with you in the next days. Well life has ways of telling things to us. Maybe it is a message for you and you must find out what it means in your life. As they say as long as you live there is hope and I hope you find answers to the questions in your life.
