But it seems life has a different opinion on that one. I have felt the weight of death for what I thought was far to long. I finally found it again and gave it to someone just to have it taken again.

I came to love this man deeply and he has become my best friend and the most important person in my life. After 10 years, life placed me in the path of a man who in 5 months time, brought me back into the life of the living and helped me to put those memories behind me and move forward. I lost my very loved husband and was unable to cope and move on. Nobody can say for certain, how they will handle the death of a loved one. And sometimes you don't get a chance to cope or move on.
