Honesty is like surgery, it leaves us exposed and vulnerable- but free. I have thought about what my life would be like if I lost my spouse and how disconnected I would be from his family, because truthfully, HE is my family and while I love everyone else, would I maintain my relationships with them? I do not know the answer to this. Certainly much would change... I am pretty sure if the situation was reversed he would probably not be hanging with mine much. Right now we face the possibility of losing a dear friend of my husband who was recently diagnosed with Stage four kidney cancer. My spouse will be taking a trip with his friend this week to visit childhood places and to tell his mom what is going on. I cannot imagine what his wife is going through right now, she is busy being a strong support system. I hope your perfectly normal spouse never stops "thinking" at you. Since I have such a small family and know how fragile having love in my life is, I "think" at mine all the time.Michelle Wendt of SRI & ETTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05189274979179942113noreply@blogger.com
