My 60 yr old husband and I were together 37 years.  The last 12 were hell, since dementia chose to come visit.  The final 2 years were spent in MC. 
NEVER EVER EVER would my dear kind loving man want to live….. as he did.  My man had left long ago, leaving this shell. It was with great relief when he died 7/5/2021.  A huge sigh… THANK YOU GOD. 

This “first Holiday Season without him”, is sad but the fact he is rejoicing in Heaven brings me joy. I’m thankful his suffering is over. I no longer worry. I know he is okay. 

So here comes 2022 and I am excited to see what is ahead of me.
