It has been 10 years, but that can seem like yesterday. You came home for lunch, you thoughtfully confirmed her appointment, you fetched her shampoo for her, you kissed her cheek. Remember that you parted from her with love and caring. Sometimes that is the best we can hope for. Take care of yourself, MIButterfly 🦋
