This I Will Remember

Two and 1/2 years ago I lost my best friend, my lover, my confident, my husband, to death.

I have come a long way in 2 1/2 years. I have changed. I have made changes. I have dealt with the worst thing that could possibly happen. I lost the love of my life. My partner. My friend.

Many years ago, on a wedding anniversary, TBHITW gave me a limited print as a gift. It is an image of two hands touching... just the finger tips.. reaching out.

It reads:

"This I will remember when the rest of life is through.. the finest thing I ever did was simply loving you."

This print hangs on my bedroom wall. I read it every morning. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I smile. Most times I know this is true.

Just saying.

  1. You certainly didn't know at that time how much that limited print would mean to you. ((HUGS))

  2. Awww, Linda. It's still heart-breaking isn't it? What a beautiful gift your hubby gave you - so fitting. Simple, yet profound....
    I'm just a month ahead of you - still crying too. Life does go on and I've make progress, but the hole left by his absence is still there.
    Sending hugs,

  9. if it’s in my case, I would feel and act the same way like you do. But be strong, I know he’s watching you all day 24/7. He may not be physically present but I know his love will always be there reaching out to you. Have a nice day!
