It's my 2nd wedding anniversary and I just want to cry

There will be cards, no gifts, no hastily grabbed bunch of roses from the petrol station. No celebratory dinner tonight, no cuddles or kisses. We didn't get to celebrate our first anniversary either as DH died 15 months ago.

Our wedding day was such a happy day even though it was in lockdown and we knew he had terminal cancer (we didn't know he'd have a stroke just 6 months later which would put paid to any further cancer treatment). I am going to take myself out for a good long walk in a bit because I know our anniversary is a date that is only significant to us but it would be lovely if someone else could acknowledge it too.

I remember those last 2 months. I remember how strong and kind and loving you were. I remember your husband and the way you describe him. Everytime i see your user name i know the advice will be good, said with kindness and with best interest at heart. Thats a gift you have given not just to your wonderful husband but to the wider world. You are extraordinary. Take care today. Buy flowers. Sit in a coffee shop and watch the world. Cry a bit and know he is loved and you are too. Xx

All of this.

I'm sure there are many of us who remember him through you and we're thinking of you today x
