Tom and I met in high school. We married at 19 and 20 years old. Right away we had children.  We were married for 43 wonderful years with four children and eleven grandchildren. We loved each other, respected each other, and looked so forward to our new retirement time. Three months ago, my husband suffered a severe head injury due to an A.T.V. accident and didn't survive.  We listened to you every chance we could and respect your insight on how couples should be girlfriend, boyfriend to each other. I miss my husband dearly and sometimes feel I didn't love him quite enough, but he always said he was a lucky man.

To all you wives out there who call in complaining about this and that. Remember you never know when your man may not be there any more. Do something every day that brings a smile to his face, and a warm feeling to your heart, so if this ever happens you will have many loving moments to look back on like I do.
