The chronicle of this tank may be sketchy at times and the photos are not the greatest, but this tank was begun (April 29, 2006) 2 months after a serious motorcycle accident and I was barely able to move my hands or arms so the photos are often blurred or dark. Please excuse those photos.
This tank was a gift from my husband to us, mainly for me during a time of physical healing for us both. Little did we know that this would be the last gift from him and would continue to play a major role in my physical healing process, but also a time of loss and sorrow. We began it together, he died (May 31, 2006) and I carried through with it and it is what it is today through my continued efforts and I am proud of what I have done. I can imagine him standing there next to it grinning from ear to ear!
Through this chronicle you will see there were things we had done wrong
because we listened to LFS people, but we learned from our mistakes, sometimes at the cost of having to give something away or take something back for less than what we paid, but my point here is I don’t want myself or my husband to be condemned or lectured for those things. He is gone and I have learned. Writing this is at times will be difficult enough.
I also do not want your spoken condolences, pity, or sorrow, I have learned (twice) that regardless of how much you want life to stop, it continues on, and you can’t quit living so living is what I try to do regardless of how painful (physically or emotionally) it can sometimes be. I have moved forward and am continuing to do so and this chronicle is at the request of others and done in memory of my best friend and husband, “Medic” (Jack). So as Medic would say “let’s get over the bs and let’s get going!” So come on, take a walk with me
: and Let the Chronicle Begin!
