Your thread was so great to read...I can imagine that your dear hubby feels glad that you can remember him with gratitude for what you both shared; it must mean so much to him that you have been able to let go of the pain and move forward. Letting go doesn't mean that we love them less; it means that the memories and love shared sustain us while we go onward.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts...we all learned from them today.
