Some of you already know, most of you probably don't, my wife passed away on Jan. 5, less than 30 days after the doctors notified her that she was terminally ill. I've been dealing with (and still am) that and everything else that goes with losing your best friend and the love of your life for the past near 20 years.
I finally managed to muster the mental strength to go to a sale this past weekend. The first one I've been to since Oct. or Nov. maybe. It was a small junky type estate sale in a transient type of neighborhood where the neighbors are hit and miss on the sketchy scale, lol. At any rate I found a few items, paid $30 for everything from a so called "estate sale company". Should recoup that on the sunglasses alone.
Good to know I still have it in me, but very sad that I don't have my baby to share it with or go with me to sales anymore. I hope I can find it in me to start listing again on ebay. That is my goal this week. Thanks for looking everyone and god bless.
Here are the Ray Bans (New Wayfarers), a female employee badge (Whitehead& Hoag) value $10?, and a 2nd edition of the AA big book, 14th printing value $30-$50.
Miami Dolphins Felt Pennant from Super Bowl VI. Value?, has some age spots and a couple small tack holes. But for $3 it was a no brainer.
A vintage Beatles tray. Not mint, but still pretty good condition. It was $5, value somewhere between $20 and $30 probably.
Last but not least is this funky rainbow neon rain lamp with black light. Needs a little dusting is all. Last one sold for $100. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-black-light-responsive-1925500871

Can't begin to imagine your pain. Scripture tells us that God has all our days planned before one of them came to be. I'm glad we don't know how many or we would preoccupy our entire lives with that one thought. I think the way that we go has more to do with changing the lives of others around you that knew her and you and all you both did to help others. Please take comfort that one day, through your faith, you ( will, and I mean Will!) be with her again! God Bless! Paul
