I'm grateful that you were a part of my life.
I'm so grateful to have been your wife.
I'm grateful that my boys had a good role model.
You loved them as if they were your own.
I'm grateful for the unconditional love that you gave to me, and which you taught us all.
I'm grateful for my memories of you and me, and all of the happiness we shared.
I hope that you are somewhere beautiful, warm, and full of love, my husband

Sorry for your loss. Is the date correct?
Got it! 
No, I'm not planning on it in a few years lol
It’s fixed
Beautiful tribute. So sorry for your loss.
I changed it and thank you.
I am grateful today, not so much sad. Only occasionally. I had a beautiful gift.
Not if you want to talk about the spiritual block since that day... whole other story.
Thank you. I was lucky to have had him as long as I did.
Spiritual block?
My spiritual life was fairly good b4. I could pray and sort of meditate.
Prayer is so difficult now that it's almost impossible. I saw, in my mind's eye, a huge boulder placed between myself and my HP. I was so angry. Maybe I still am, about a lot of things. I know that writing this is making me cry. That's a sign that I've got some unresolved "stuff."
Btw, I love that my friends here call me on my $h*t. I don't get away with much here lol.
I can understand that
His has saved mr
Recovery?
Wow..... That hit me hard! You are incredible!!!! Ive tried to be strong about my losses but, I was more angry, used them as an excuse to numb myself and didn't care if I woke up.... This is NOT about me! I was just using that to express how INCREDIBLE and amazing you are!!!! I can only pray I have that one day!!! He clearly was amazing and I have no doubt he is at peace, surrounded by love.... I'm SURE he would say beautiful things like that to you if he could!!! I literally just wrote a really bitter, angry one and I feel especially embarrassed now.... I want to be more like you!!! Filled with love, thanks and thankful ESPECIALLY when it's so hard!!!! Thank you for sharing that incredible message! You are a true gem!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY understand that!!! I think it's only natural!!! Keep being loving to yourself.... You'll get it back.... I think it's a lifelong process. When I lost my son... Seeing such a miracle then having him RIPPED away so fast I couldn't say goodbye.... Just hold him one last time when he was physically here but, he was gone... I was SOOO broken and angry! I used to HATE my HP.... I lost SO MANY dear people it felt like a massive cruel joke! Like once I'd start to TRY to recover something so awful would happen.,.. I gave up and just threw myself into H.... But, crazy enough when my best friend and then his wife passed (not drug related.... Either.. not that it matters it just was even more senseless... And my Abu... Ex cheated and abandoned me.... As sick as that part sounds I had no one... Anyway when trying to end it didn't work.... In the ER I gave into to getting off drugs... Been sober sense BUT, the spiritual part... THAT has been an incredibly hard struggle! I just wanted to share part of my story just to let you know I understand that block! You have come SOOO far!!! Please hold onto that like you do the love you got to have! You will get there! You inspire me and I know anyone else who saw your incredible message!!!! I just wanted to share a bit too and say thank you for sharing!!! Once again you are so amazing!!!! So much love to you and your family! You are an incredible inspiration for the power of true love and the eternal effects of it!!! No matter how connected you may not feel, to me love is a massive part of that! I think you are A LOT more connected then you may see! Just in a different way! I'll stop rambling.... Just... You deserve joy and happiness.... All the beauty in life!! So so happy you got to experience something many don't just wish you didn't lose him physically... Because trite as it sounds he is clearly still VERY MUCH with you!!!
I'm sorry I've not responded. I'm now struggling to breathe through the loss of my son on Memorial Day. An overdose took him grin me, his brothers, his father, and his thousands of friends. He was a truly unique, special beyond measure, human being.
Kelly That was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
