Oh, Lizbeth, that was so touching. I hope your anniversary tomorrow won't be too difficult and that the beautiful memories will override the sorrow. My 30th anniversary is in May, and I have to fight to keep myself from lingering on the "what might have beens."

As to your bridesmaids dresses, for the time, they probably were very stylish. And I'm sure they were very happy to wear them and help you and your husband celebrate your big day.

Hugs,
Alice

Sending you a hug for tomorrow...some days are rougher than others..may all your reflections give you a peaceful heart

Lizbeth . . . wow, it would have been 43 years together? I can't even begin to imagine the memories you created during those decades. Kudos to you both for the long haul. Never been there personally, but I do admire such a commitment. So sorry for your loss . . along with the wedding anniversary looming tomorrow. Stay strong and have a good laugh at the bridesmaid dresses . . . that are forever out of style! :) I hope these gals are still a part of your life! Hugs, D

(((Lizbeth))))......I know tomorrow will be so difficult....perhaps part of the day will bring you peaceful memories.

Our 40th will be coming up in July and I have no idea the shape I will be in that day.....we were married in the evening and had such a great time at our wedding.....I can still see him with that big smile as I walked down that isle and my Daddy kissing my cheek as he gave me away. Maybe someday I can think of that wonderful day with smiles instead of the tears that are streaming down my face right now.

Big hugs to you.......

Oh! Liz, I love your attitude. I can picture your beautiful wedding day.
How we remember every little detail of our wedding!!
I was married in a Montreal, Canada. A winter wedding, there was a huge snow blizzard, but everybody still showed up. The style then for men was kind of a frilled front shirt, Ben looked so handsome. Yes Liz you have brought it all back for me,
Ben and I would have been married 43 years on our next anniversary.
Just like you and your precious husband. Thank God for those memories....they are all we have left.
Dear Liz I hope you have a sweet, sweet day tomorrow and even if you cry a little .....that, too, is good.
Thinking of you,
Love...Sandra

That is beautiful. At four years into widowhood I look at my wedding pictures and smile. They are beautiful memories.

Hugs,
Val

Thinking of you lizbeth and sending comforting thoughts.

Thank you very much to all for the support I get here.
Last night a friend of mine gave me a copy of something he received after his wife passed. It came from a advice column, Annie's Mailbox, from a man named Norbert Tackman. In the letter he wrote...There is nothing wrong with crying. It's part of loss. It's part of the grief. Accept the aching need to hold him and tell him you love him. But always remember to say, "What a good life we had."
He knew you loved him and cared about him. Just as you know he loved and cared about you. Remember, he is watching over you. He doesn't want you to suffer. He wants you to be happy for all the time you had together. God bless you.
Smart man that Norbert. :) With that, I smile and say, "Happy 43rd anniversary to my beloved husband, Felix.

I am so sorry. July 3rd would be our 50th anniversary. And we dated a year before that. It is hard to start over.

I was 16, he was 19 when we married.
