My husband died in July. I realize that soon I won't be able to say "last year my husband and I...." because he will have been dead.

My husband really wanted to live for 62 years because his father (who smoked and was in very poor health for many years) lived that long. My husband was very healthy and cancer took him.

Except for not being that happy innocent person i used to be i haven't changed much. I am sorry for your loss.
