Wow....last entry was from 2013?. Or did I read that wrong..... [View all]

My husband died May 4....that’s only 3 months ago. And no one has even written to me....no family no friends, no one has even mentioned him. It’s only been 3 months. I MISS HIM SO MUCH. I look at his slippers, and cry, I look at all his jackets and cry, I remember what he did to this house I’m living in. He built our deck...refinished both bathrooms, bought solar panels for our garage, just did everything. I JUST MISS HIM SO MUCH, and no one has even asked me how i’m doing.
