"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! 💞

Well, mine died 27 years ago but I had nearly lost him when we had been married for just 3 years. Brain bleed due to an aneurysm. One day fine, next day collapsed. He was lucky in that although it changed his life he didn't drop dead that day, so yes, treat every day as if it might be the last.

My DH may not be the man he once was due to suffering a massive stroke but he is still ‘my’ man, and I do feel blessed that he pulled through. 🙏🏾

Well that’s a good punch in the gut for some of us, isn’t it? Thanks

In what way?

Life goes on for others Tuliptree
Taking their joy away doesn’t increase ours so hey.

Have a lovely evening all of you. x

Agree with you FGT2. flowers

I am, like you, grieving the loss of my beloved OH - but knowing that others might be treasuring their time together brings a certain kind of quiet contentment.

Because that's how it should be.
