Unfortunately yesterday was a very bad day for me. I could not get the memory out of my head of visiting my husband and he said to me "I wish they would leave me alone. I want this to go fast." At the time I was speechless. But the memory kept playing and playing and I wound up crying all day. But today is another day. The sky is blue and the sun is shining. I, too, would like to share a memory with him. Hopefully things will be a bit easier today. I need to swiffer the floors. That should take my mind off this and onto more mundane things. I am beginning to think that our lives will always be intertwined no matter how much time passes.

Hi @thisismarilynb I, too, hope today is a better day! I totally agree that our lives with our lived one will be forever entwined. I tell people I was married for 42 years, so ask me how I’m feeling in about another 40 years. Personally, I have no interest or intention of erasing my wife from my life and especially from my memories. Yes, some are painful and sorrowful, but there are so many sweet ones too.

Keeping busy is good 🙂 I’ll follow your lead and vacuum now!
