I'm sorry for your loss although, as you point out, it was love that made you feel it and as a balance to the loss is a lifetime of memories. This is how I approach things with my mother whose life is in decline. The chemotherapy takes a toll her, the mental and emotional aspect and I know she is worried about leaving me along...not that I'll be alone, I have the best man a girl could ask for, but I think you understand. It's tragic.
Added to that is other complications with the guy and life itself...it's difficult, this life of ours, but at the same time it's beautiful too. Light and shadow.
Thank you so much for your comment dswigle, and I hope you have had a good week.
