Never Take Anything For Granted

Dear Dr. Laura:

My husband of 24 years passed away from a brief illness last May.  He left me with three gifts - two daughters, 14 and 5, and a 3 year old son.  Our children are everything to me.

I want to tell your listeners never to take anything for granted.  Never talk badly about your spouse.  Love deeply.  Take those extra minutes in the morning or at night to hug and be hugged by your spouse.  Intimacy is everything.  Give more to the marriage than you expect back, and you will be well on your way to success.  In times of trouble, go to your spouse.  Lean on him or her.    I hope your listeners find the love that I once had:  kind, patient, loving, caring, strong, and never wavering.

My life now is completely changed in every single possible way.  As I navigate through this new "normal," I thank you for your words which have helped me over the years to become the mother I am and the wife I was.

Jennifer (Kevin's wife)
