Hello ,
How is everything with you, my name is Charles McGrath,I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site. Could you please get back to me on:(charles_mcgrath81@yahoo.com) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Charles McGrath.

Hi Phil - Thank you for sharing about your lovely wife, Chiko. It's evident what a kind and special person she was. I've heard that orchids are challenging to grow so she must have had a very gentle and talented touch. Your story about meeting her was very touching.

Hi Phil,
Thank you for sharing. Again, I'm so very sorry. I cannot fathom what that must feel like to be with your soulmate so long and now be without them. I'm here if you ever want to share about your wife - what did she like to do? What were your favorite things about her? No worries if you don't want to - but I've found that the best we can do in this situation is help keep our loved ones memories alive. This is a great group so share and make sure they are never forgotten. Take care - Rosie

She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
