Things you wish you had shared with your spouse
Just wondering if any of “Us” have regretted not talking about “Things” with our spouses before they died? I regret not sharing how I felt when I first met her in 1975. She knocked me over with her beauty, long black hair to her knees and how shy and bashful I felt just sitting next to her. I wish I had told her that yes I…

It broke my heart to watch him work his butt…

Lost my mom - lost without her...
