Your post reminded me that June 12th would have been our 53rd anniversary. I lost my wife to colon cancer November 15, 2022. We were together for 55 years. We met when she was 16 and I was 17 in high school. We had two wonderful sons/fathers and four beautiful grandchildren. They keep me going and remind me of the life we had together.
I thought that I’d think about the anniversary quietly…..my sister sent me a text ( she was 8 years old at the wedding).
Thank you for the post it gave me an opportunity to share this and move me forward in my grieving process.
