-I still remember what your hair smelt like -I still remember what your for head felt like when I kissed it -I still remember what your hand felt like when we held hands -I still remember what your hugs felt like even though you didn't like to cuddle -I still remember what your lips felt like when we kissed -I still remember what I felt like when you said I love you -As long as I still remember you and the things I loved about you, I think I will be OK and I just want you to know that I will always love you too.

Off the top of my head when I was driving in my car today I have my wifes necklace, wedding band and our childs birth stone ring hanging on the rear view mirror and I looked at them. I could really feel her presence. I pulled over on the side of the road, grabbed her jewlry in my hand and I said this to her. all of a sudden I felt weight lift off my shoulders. For a moment she was with me

So glad you have one of those very special moments to feel your wife's presence. It must be very comforting to you. She will always be with you.

I have moments like the love song he had for me came on the radio on Valentine's Day, at the time I was thinking of him and feeling sad. I would sniff his jacket for his scent, amazingly, it still there after one year.

This is very sweet and I understand the sentiment. I feel that way, too. My heart goes out to you in your loss. Sweet memories.

Sweet memories are comforting. Every evening after a busy day, I talk to my darling husband and sometimes ask for his help when I need to make a decision and I am unsure. You know, after my talking to him and sometimes a night's sleep, I always feel better and know what decision to take.

I feel sure he is around me and helps me. Makes my heart somewhat lighter.

My daughter gave me the best advice when Jim died. She said Mom talk to him so I did and I still do every night. I do believe they are with us and that he hears what I say. I don't believe in coincidences and I do believe everything happens for a reason so all those signs he gave me happened for a reason. Now that 4 years have gone by I still on occasion get a sign and it makes me smile.

My heart to you today. Those types of memories are the good kind, I hope one day they curl the corners of your mouth with sweet /secret smile.
