Ada, it took me three tries to read that...I teared up so much, just reading it. The love you two had for each other - and actually STILL have - just shines thru that post. Going back, reading the posts you have written since his passing that's all I hear is that love.

I can only hope that my SO will speak as highly of me as you do Bill when I leave this earth. I'm sure he will...he does NOW. But I have to say that I, too, feel you are one of the luckiest women I know, to have loved and been loved the way you were and still are. Many blessings were given to you in your lifetime, and are still to come. Not only from Bill, from from your friends and family. I envy you. Cherish those memories of Bill...and cherish the loved ones you have surrounding you now, for they are not with you only because of Bill's passing...but because of your kindness and the love you have given them thru the years.

Now, I'm crying again. When your funds get better, you owe me a tube of mascara!!!
