		<description>@Tess:  Thanks for the vote of confidence on the writing!  That means a lot.  And congrats on 37 years.  That&#039;s awesome!

I know for myself, that after experiencing an unexpected death, you certainly do two things:

1: Appreciate the time you have.

2: Realize how fragile life really is.</description>

		<description>@Barbara: That&#039;s very perceptive of you.  I didn&#039;t think it would be that hard to write, but as I got into my last words with my dad, tears started flowing.

&quot;And congratulations on getting another “dad”. .&quot;

Thanks!  Eric.</description>

		<description>Hi Eric - I was reading your words and thinking, &quot;this had to be hard for him to write&quot;.  It&#039;s not easy losing a parent (I&#039;ve lost both of mine), but to write about it makes memories resurface.  The love you had for your father is obvious, and the well wishes for your mom shine through.  She&#039;s been blessed, as have you.  I wish them everlasting happiness.  And congratulations on getting another &quot;dad&quot;.  .

		<description>Eric,
I think you need to write a book! Your words are powerful. Congratulations to the happy couple.

I was pregnant and married at 17. We are nearing our 37th wedding anniversary. My biggest fear is something happening to my husband.Not that I dwell on this fear but it&#039;s there.

 I really don&#039;t know how to live without him.

Yeah for your courageous mom!

		<description>HOPE!

Thanks for sharing this.  My parents will be married 50 years in July while I haven&#039;t gotten around to the first time... yet I&#039;m still inspired.

Congrats to your Mom and her new beau!

		<description>Eric, it&#039;s so wonderful that your mom was able to find love for her golden years.  It&#039;s inspiring to say the least.  My grandparents were married for seventy-four years.  Sweetest couple in the universe.  Their golden years were definitely their finest.
