40 years.

[St-Gerard]

My only complaint with life is, there is never enough time to spend with your Loved ones , does sadden the sole to hear of your loss , Gerard

My condolences on your loss, Da Bear and to your family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Lovely words, thanks for sharing.

My words can't begin to describe my sorrow for what you have lost, I am so sorry

 

[SupraSabre]

That is hard to hear. So sorry for your loss.

Prayers of comfort for you, your family and your friends that will deeply miss her!

 

[Trailcrunchers]

So sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family.
You mentioned the precious nature of "time", and reminded me of something I read and had to write down about a year ago:
"Treat time as your ultimate currency - it's all you have and you can never get it back. Spend it wisely, with those you love, in ways you'll never regret" (Sahil Bloom)

My heart hurts for you.

I know you are grieving right now as you should but later on you will reflect on the fact that God gave you a blessing that endured for some 40 years. Which is a rarity these days. Those that have passed on are never truly gone as they dwell and live in the hearts of those of us who love them. Remember they are only a thought away. Bless you.

That was a beautifully worded tribute to someone who meant so much to you. So very sorry for your loss.

Thank you for sharing with us, Da Bear. I immediately thought of this tune with a unique take on a love song. Wishing you peace and comfort in the coming days.

It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely, one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get 40 years together But one day, I'll be gone or one day, you'll be gone

 

[Da Bear]

If I could make her laugh once a day...

 

[Chris09]

I'm saddened by your loss, I'm glad you were able to share some of the good moments that you had together, all the best to you in a difficult time

I am reading this just now- so very sorry to hear. Your intro line sounds strangely reminiscent (well, except the one night stand thing)- I am so glad you had great times together and now great memories.
