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.

1st love the username. 2nd people have bad days. I've been there. My wife taught me to cut slack&love everyone, I just can't be mad.

Do something she would've enjoyed. Even something simple and mundane. Happy Anniversary, sir.

@MortyTownLocos I still do. Camping, music, art, Burningman all still figure large in my life.

What asshat downvotes a story like this.

I don’t even want to know. Too much honour for them to even spend time on them.

I’m so sorry to hear this, friend. Made me cry thinking about losing the light of my life...I’ll hug him even tighter tonight.
MyNameIsFriday
TY. Hey, hug him. Hug your friends. Hug your family. Tell them all you love'em.

1 month away from 20 years w/o my dad, 2 months away from 6 years w/o my mom. Remember the good times always, & love your fam while you can.
MyNameIsFriday
@xochiluvr I always will remember. TY. Try to keep alive something they did. Best way I can think of honoring someone.

Omg... my heart. I am happy y'all found true happiness with the time spent with one another. True love is always to short of a time spent.

I’ve heard something similar but in Spanish. Do you know what I’m talking about?

The rest of it is: May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

It is taken from the liturgy of the Roman Catholic church, so I'm sure it exists in many languages.
dillesss
After 6 years, she left me today. I'm lost at this point with no direction. I hope we both find peace l.
THEMOXABIDES
Been with mine for 16 years. I can’t even imagine. Do you have family or anyone to talk with?
dillesss
Honestly, I've pushed my friends out for the last 5 years due to my partner and career. My parents are elderly and i don't want to burden
dillesss
Them with something I've caused/part of. It's nice to hear you found somebody for so long. If you don't mind, when did you meet?
THEMOXABIDES
If you don't mind me asking, what happened between you and yours?
dillesss
I popped the question and she wasn't ready I guess. This started a slew of different arguments which ended in her leaving while I was atwork
THEMOXABIDES
2003. Just got married in December.
dillesss
Congratulations, I really mean it. Any reason for the long courtship?
