I can't remember the last time I was here, but I can't remember a lot of things anyways. Last year, I lost my wife suddenly and unexpectedly. (only a few hours from now was when the official news was told to me last year). I haven't really been the same since then. Only near the end of last year did I figure out that I wanted to honor her by sharing the stories that she and I had worked to build over the years. I only recently started sharing them, I picked our wedding anniversary for a launch date and as a gift to her, and I plan to keep going. The worst feeling I've had through all of this has been nothingness. Feeling nothing inside aside from a literal coldness.

As difficult as your loss has been, your decision on how to honor your wife and your life together is brilliant. I hope it brings you fond memories, the occasional giggle, and, ultimately, peace.

I appreciate the kind comments. I actually was out for most of today with my in-laws who came down to visit for the anniversary. They live ten hours away so I don't get to see them as often anymore. It was nice visiting one of our favorite parks, visiting the cemetery, and going out to dinner. I have steadily been picking up speed with my project and have hopes for it.

Welcome back.

Sorry to hear. I have never been married, but about a decade ago I lost so many people who passed away that were either family or relatives or family friends via my parents which had me attend 43 funerals. I just had no emotions. I could not reach them as I was just numb.
