Barbara,
I am so sorry for your immense loss. Your love for each other was clearly visible to all in the way you spoke of him, the way he looked at and spoke to you. These little things really are the things you miss and cherish most in your alone hours. In your actions during your direst times of need, both of you demonstrated a great and true love. Time does not heal. Just keep with you the love he shared. I hope someday you find peace that he has joined the Lord and holds a place for you.
Love, Elvira
