28 years ago today, that lovely young lady and I said 'I do' to each other.

Last February, she left this earth.
Happy Anniversary sweetheart.

EDIT: Thank you all for the well wishes and support. Yes, this last 11 months have been rough. I have a great support network in my family, friends, my community, and thru Imgur. I am getting thru it one day at a time.

I think I gave an upvote to everyone who commented. I'll try to respond to as many comments as I can.

I've found that laughter IS a good medicine. Yes, I've cried. It has been a great release.

2nd EDIT: To everyone who made a reference to me marrying an astronaut, that my wife went to Mars/The Moon/ I.S.S., THANK YOU. That fits right in with her sense of humor.

FYI - She always tried to support aspiring artists. I am continuing the same tradition. I ask that you do the same.

My username is based upon Teddy Roosevelts diary entry when his wife died. I will be changing it again soon.

3rd EDIT: To the most downvoted comment on this post, I understood your reference. Thank you. You got my upvote.

I wish her fair winds and following seas. Stay strong, shipmate.

It is taken from the liturgy of the Roman Catholic church, so I'm sure it exists in many languages.
