June 18 would be our 53rd Anniversary [View all]
In my own way, I will observe the date, even if my husband passed a few months short of our 46th. I was thinking of the ways my husband and our marriage made my life a lot different and better. I live with good memories. Love never dies.
I don't have to consciously recall a certain moment. As I work around the house, random memories come to mind, so the past is never far away. I am doing okay on my own, but I never feel really alone. I'm not living a half-life. Part of my process of grieving has been a realization that people on this side of the veil love me and need me present, so I make sure they know I love them and need them.
In many ways, I am still married to my husband, even if he is not physically present. We will meet by the moon someday.
