Thank You, My Love,

Some people find it difficult to say thank you to your married partner.  One can hardly stress the importance of saying thank you to God first. After that saying thank you to your wife is important too.  Looking back I have a string of thank you to my departed wife. I cannot mention them all, but I give her thanks

•	for saying yes to marrying me,
•	for all our kisses, hugs and love,
•	for always adopting “a give and take” attitude,
•	for always being caring,
•	for always being understanding,
•	for not expecting me to be perfect,
•	for every good advice you gave me,
•	for being supportive in times of worry,
•	for spending most of our free time together,
•	for all our vacations together,
•	for keeping faith in me when I was maligned by an anonymous caller,
•	for all our prayers together,
•	for all our romantic attitudes and not just sex, 
•	for never fighting in the whole of our life together,
•	for solving the small differences that crop up in life,
•	for our lovely daughter, Sandra,
•	for always relying on me when you were sick,
•	for your smile even in times of worry,
•	for always loving each other until death did us part,
•	for caring for me even from your heavenly place.

Never to be forgotten.

You were a lucky one. My husband gets a lot of this from me too. But it's difficult when it's not often reciprocated.

Very sweet, beautiful and deeply touching Victor. She sounds like a beautiful and precious lady. I feel certain that she still loves you and watches over you from her heavenly home. I know that if I were to depart before my husband, I would watch over him and the kids as much as I could, and one day greet each one with the joy that forever is a long time for many more wonderful eternal days. May God comfort you and give you sweet dreams of your sweet beloved.

A great list that any wife would be delighted to receive from her husband. Sometimes it is the small things in life that make life more pleasant, worth living, and worth continuing. It is good that you could come up with that many items for which you are thankful. Thank you for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page. Sara
