The Gift


Fifteen years ago today, my life changed forever. I lost my husband of 36 years. When he accepted the fact that his life would soon be over, he gave me a wonderful gift. He told me I should get married again because he didn't want me to live alone. At the time, I couldn't imagine such a thing and protested that there was no way I could ever replace him. Three years later, a miracle occurred---I did remarry with no feelings of guilt or remorse. Don't ever ask your spouse to make promises that he or she can't keep. Give the gift of unending love.
