102. May his memory be eternal.

Fri May 13, 2022, 06:31 PM

May 2022

My sweetheart and I made it to 40 years. He’s been gone since March of 2011. I miss him as much now as I ever have. His picture is on the mantle and every evening I lift my glass and wish him a happy happy hour. Sometimes I even tell him about my day. It gets easier over time.

Hugs from a distance,
Mme. D.
