Sorry for the loss of your husband three years ago and can only imagine how much you miss him and grieve after such a long and happy marriage. I know it's very difficult. The closer and longer the bond you had, the more profound the grief is. I hope that from time to time you can pull up some of the happy and very special memories of the time you had with your husband. I am grateful to your husband and to you for his service to our country.

Thank you. We dated for 3 three years and married for 59 years. A lifetime. What makes it harder is that now I am 90 years old. Fortunately for me I am in good health. I do not have dementia, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, or any of the ills that come with being old. I live in our home, am independent and have the ability to drive, even on the freeway at night. In short, just like everyone else, except older. I am sure there must be many like me. The biggest troubles are that you have outlived everyone and there is nothing to look forward to. Sorry to diverge from the topic.
