It's funny what you miss. Currently, it's her voice.

But I persist.

Best to everyone here at the wonderful DU community.

The only easy day was yesterday.

And I’ll bet she’s Upstairs, watching over you, and waiting patiently til you get there.

You thoughts and considerations mean much to me. I wish nothing but peace and strength to carry on the fight in front of us. My wife would expect nothing less.

Sounds like you married up, like I did.

So now I'm going to give her an extra hug.

He’s still here, though. He can’t leave till it’s time to take me with him. I was afraid in the beginning of losing him but as the years went on, I found out that he never really went away.

Tomorrow will be easier.
