There is a constant melancholy in losing a spouse. I realize many others have lost a husband or wife.

11. I so appreciate your posts.

Perhaps you could write a book on your future travels and tie each place back to the first time you were there. It would certainly be a best seller. My wish for you is that the sharp edges on the pain soften and the love and memories remain strong and vivid. But I know nothing of what this kind of grief is like, so really all I can offer is kind thoughts.

If you ever feel up to it, please tell us the story of how you and your wife met. Would love to know how such a great love began.
