Three years ago tonight my dear wife, Audrey, died.

I never fully appreciated what I had until I lost it.

Happy days

I'm sure she will have known though Harry, we all wish we had said or done more to show loved ones how much they meant to us don't we? Take heart from the happy memories.

My word, three years? That time seems to have flown by for me, but probably not for you Harry.

You obviously had a very happy marriage, full of love and blessings....your memories must be very special and comforting.

Take care.....

three years!! seems like yesterday Harry <3

14 years this October for my lovely husband - sometimes feels like it was years longer than that, and other times, just recently

Harry, we don't need a special date to remember loved ones no longer here.
They are forever in our hearts and only ever a thought away. Think of happy times.
Sending gentle hugs for you today. xxx

You always spoke so well of her, Harry, so I'm sure she knew how you felt.

Harry your love for her showed in your posts on here so I am sure it must have shown in how you treated her. Three years, it has gone quickly for us but not for you I am sure. <3 <3 <3

Harry you may not think you showed your love, we know you did and I am very sure that your darling Audrey knew the extent of your love and appreciation for her.
Three years is such a short time when missing a loved one, when that time for others has moved on. Treasure your memories and share with us when ever you feel you can <3 <3

Delightful folks. Still quite lonely without her - nothing can replace a wife of 53 years.

However, if you have a partner, parent or friend, make sure you say it before it is too late.

best wishes to all. Happy days

Such good advise, I tell my OH everyday that I love him, always have and the 1 time he left the house when I was in a "huff" and I didn`t tell him, I had to phone him to tell him. Sort of stops you being in a snit :-D

We have the policy donĀ“t leave the house or go to sleep without those precious words, married nearly 13yrs and together 20.
