Please take very good care of yourself, as much as all of these Internet strangers would do if we were there in person, as much as Wash would have wanted.<br /><br />All the love in the world. You have to be without him in the form you knew, and that's unspeakable pain, but he is with you in other ways. May all the best memories -- not just the Force -- always be with you.<br /><br />Love -- someone else who took a loved one home in a ceramic TARDISGwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703011539022622724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-66884416930626888072012-09-18T01:30:44.712-07:002012-09-18T01:30:44.712-07:00" You are the Universe, expressing yourself a..." You are the Universe, expressing yourself as a human for a little while " - Eckhart Tolle<br /><br />Tashi,<br />I am so sorry for your loss.<br />I've been following your blog for a while now but I never had the courage nor the words to express what is so hard to put in words because they sound so hollow. I deeply admire your passion and love for your husband. My boyfriend and I are Wash's and your age, we are fellow Whovians. Your story made me want to be a better partner to him, a better friend, a better companion. My family and I wish you strength and happiness in the future. Live life to the fullest, you deserve it. You have friends- even those who never personally met you two - and support all over the world.<br /><br />Lots of love and greetings from Germany!Morgaine Mayfairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06378695173102738008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-72380704548350333862012-09-16T20:50:14.147-07:002012-09-16T20:50:14.147-07:00I know you probably won't see this, but I have...I know you probably won't see this, but I have been following your story for some time. I haven't read in a few weeks due to my own busy life, but I thought I'd check in today.<br /><br />I am so sorry for your loss. Your dedication and love for your husband was so pure and beautiful, I can't even begin to tell you what your selflessness has shown me in the lengths of true human compassion and loyalty. <br /><br />I might pop something in the mail, but I'm really bad at stuff like that, so I wanted to express here how much love and light I am sending all the way from MA. <br /><br /><3 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-23798554649069422172012-09-15T18:26:50.042-07:002012-09-15T18:26:50.042-07:00I have not met you or Wash, yet I am bawling like ...I have not met you or Wash, yet I am bawling like a baby over your loss. <br /><br />Your story is one of inspiration, of a young woman discovering her strengths, her weaknesses, and the true meaning of love.<br /><br />Your maturity is beyond your years. Although our opinions on some things may differ, I have the utmost respect for you. You have fought the good fight, and have won. And you are loved, even by total strangers.<br /><br />May God bless you, richly, as you start the next chapter of your life.<br /><br />S.Z. from TXBoots McGrawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053530134449512032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-75992346527273552542012-09-15T18:08:23.484-07:002012-09-15T18:08:23.484-07:00I've been following your story since the reque...I've been following your story since the request for Wash's urn on Regretsy, but like many others I've never commented before. My words have seemed so small and useless compared to what you've been going through, and I didn't want to bother you with words that would never be enough. But now I have to say something... I have to tell you that every time my life has seemed hard or unfair, I've come back here, to remind myself of you and Wash, and what kind of things I could have been facing. To remind myself that whatever problems I've had, although they've seemed huge and un-fixable to me, really weren't. And that, if someone my age somewhere else in the world had the strength to care for, and face the death of her soulmate, I could find the strength to cope with whatever happened with me.<br />Thank you. <br /><br />I'll remember Wash, and I'll remember you. And like TG said above: Good job, Tashi.

Though I've never left a comment, my three sons and I have followed your story for over a year. <br /><br />The guys have asked me to let you know that no matter what, they will always have your back. :)<br /><br />My personal observation - I hope that each of my boys finds the one who was made for them, as you and Wash did. That kind of love is a rare and beautiful thing, and I am delighted to know that it does exist. You made your husband's last years as happy a place as you could make them, and I am unaccountably proud of you for that. Keep in touch with us - with all of us - you have a lot more to teach.<br /><br />Good night, Wash. Good job, Tashi.<br /><br />Our love,<br />KG and the Wild Bunch <br /> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883686784060676222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-89635233053793176282012-09-14T18:48:16.795-07:002012-09-14T18:48:16.795-07:00I've been reading your blog for a few months n...I've been reading your blog for a few months now, but this is my first comment. My dad passed away recently of COPD and I can't say that I know your pain, but I can certainly empathize. Reading your blog has helped me with my own grief...so thank you. Take it one day at a time. I can only hope that everyone finds the love that you have with your Wash. Peace be to you. Many thoughts and prayers.

Watching my best friend succumb to this bastard cancer. Fortunately, my husband is currently in full remission from the demon cancer. You Tashi are so strong, a true women, wife, companion, and geek. I feel so close to you and Wash. I thought about you both so much last night. Your story has changed me, changed my life. If only I could be as strong as you. You are amazing, and you are going to live a long wonderful life, knowing that your Wash, is living an adventure, waiting for his bride to join him. Please take comfort in knowing that he will be your guardian angel. When you feel your neck hairs stand up, when you find something of his you haven't seen in a long time, know that is him with you at that very moment. Thank you so much for making this blog public. You have done the world a HUGE service publishing this. Thank you. Thank you for being such a beautiful wife to Wash. ikissmykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603920282427919102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-359316824649671922012-09-14T07:22:59.644-07:002012-09-14T07:22:59.644-07:00Sorry for the typo.
