It liked 2 months being 47 years, but we dated another 2 1/2 years before that. The emptyness is more than I can explain. If his family would only call once and a while it would help, but they don't at all. I don't have any family except cousins and they are scattered everywhere.

The only advised I can give is, go and make good memories with your mate, for someday it may be all you got.
Love,
Billie
