"We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore. What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it's your last. Because, one day, it will be." - Liam Neeson, 2016.

Enjoy your day! 💞

How lovely, yet how sad, lovely that you found a soulmate so early and you stayed loving each other so long, but sad that he has left you through no fault except destiny.
Hold on to every minute and memory of that love, you are one lucky lady who will be totally heartbroken but have such memories 💐❤️

Mystyeyes11 Sat 20-Jun-26 09:43:49

I am so sorry, Basgetti. What a horrible shock for you. I know exactly what you mean by wanting to go with them, it feels terrible to be the one left behind. flowers

It’s ten weeks ago for me and today is my daughter’s wedding. Such a maelstrom of emotions.

SueDonim I hope you still enjoy the wedding and you know your beloved husband would want you and your family to have a lovely day. Take care

Thinking of you all. As FGT has so bravely said - they would want you to carry on and live a happy life. Easy words for me to type I know but I hope you find the strength in time to do just that. 💙💙💙

Crumbs, SueDonim, you will be an emotional wreck by the end of today. Everyone will understand the mixed emotions though. Be gentle with yourself.

I can only imagine how you must be feeling, how very hard it must be to start another day without the love of your life, be good to yourselves and take care ,

I love my spouse. We’ve been together for 42 years. He does a lot around the house and runs me about as I don’t drive. He’s also a wonderful father and grandfather. Of course he annoys me at times, as I do him but I cannot bear to think of life without him. So, yes, I must stop and be thankful for I have been blessed.
