My wife passed in 2000 from an aneurysm.
Your entire life can change in a minute.
If you have someone you love, make damn sure you tell them every single day.
If you find someone who loves you, not because of the sex, or the money, or the looks, but simply because they really like you and couldn't imagine living life away from you, then hold on to it. Protect it with everything you got.
It's the only thing in life that cannot be replaced.
Last Christmas, I did not want to put up a tree but some freepers told me to do it. I did and wanted to decorate it in a different way. I thought of all of our Beanie Babies we had collected so I used them. This year, I was going back to regular decorations but our other daughter told me to use the Beanies again. I did, added some extra lights and some icicles and it is beautiful. It brought back so many memories of where we were when we bought certain Beanies. We had so much fun buying them. I learned to tell everyone, I love you every time we are together. We never ever know what will happen. I am sorry about your loss. It is something we never get over.
