I don't blame you. I met my husband at 21, 23 years ago. If death or divorce were to make me single, I can't even imagine wanting to do this again at my age.
Neth, Thanks for your comments. I am a little less than 40 years ahead of you. If I was as young as you, I might be a little more interested. But also, my 41-year love with my husband was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me so that is part of why I do not want another love relastionship.
Brenden, Thanks for your comments. In the beginning it was difficult to live outloud, but eventually the grief, although it will never go away, got easier to carry. I am currently living my life to its fullest and more! Fondly, Michael

The picture at the top of this post…so sweet and tender. I’m glad you’ve recouped your sass and are living your life 💜
