Deanna M. Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Oh Al, as I sit here with tears on my cheeks I just wish I could reach out and hug you. I am so very sorry that you lost Margaret.

I know she will be there waiting for you someday just as you describe. My heart and prayers go out to you. (((((Hugs))))))) THat was a beautiful tribute.

natalie Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Wow, that took my breath away. Your Margaret was lucky to live a life with such a wonderful man who loved her so. You should be proud of the relationship you HAVE with one another. She's still with you, she's still your wife and will always be your wife...that will never change. You remember that. Her early life with you as well as her life with cancer have changed you and made you a different person now which makes part of you a part of her. She has made you who you are today...you use that and remember that she is with you in everything you do because she is part of your personality....1/2 of you is always Margaret and will always be Margaret. You have not lost her, you have taken some of her and kept it with you on earth until such time you can be with her again. She may not be here physically, but she will always be your soulmate. I hope you can find some comfort in my words...we are here for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were a very lucky man to have had Margaret as your life for so long. God Bless You, Karen C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norme Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Al, That was a great tribute. I am a firm believer we will meet again with our loved ones but for now, we must carry on with this earth life, find our way out of our sadness and keep all the good memories in our hearts. Of course this is not an overnight thing. There is one lesson that no one has ever taught us, it is one we must each learn on our own, - - survival I can tell you are working on it...Peace....
