Reading the OP, and all the responses sure brought back memories, some that make me incredibly sad, others reminding me of the joy that is possible when the stars all line up right and that special person comes into our lives. i went through something very similar about 5 years ago, and yes, there are days that i still miss him -- his voice, his touch, his wisdom and humor and the joy of knowing someone loved me as much as he did, even during those times i didn't feel very lovable. Yes, time does help, talking helps, crying and anger helped in their own way. Sometimes i've wondered why, with all the memories that have been taken from me, these particular memories not only hang around, but sneak up and attack when i least expect them too. i'm so sorry for your loss, for the grief you're feeling, and hope the time soon comes when you'll be able to move on and consider the time you had with him a gift, one that you can take out once in a while and treasure, with the knowledge that they no longer consume. Good luck and hugs.. jimini PS -- Thanks for sharing the song, Lotus, i'm a huge fan of Reba's, but i'd forgotten that one.
