Hi Stevie, and welcome. I so enjoyed your introduction, it spoke volumes about your relationship with your late wife and how the two of you interacted. I can understand your reluctance to venture back out in public without her, since it sounds like she was a very strong person and not necessarily ‘saddled’ with the ‘hang-ups’ so many of us who were raised in the Midwest seem to have inherited. That said, I do think you will find that venturing out these days is not a frightful as it may seem. I was quite concerned about how I would be received, but I discovered even if anyone noticed, they didn’t seem to care. I look forward to hearing more about your adventures. Hugs, Paulette
