    Dutchie,

    I'm truly sorry for your loss. Your late husband sounds like a fine man, one who loved you and respected your individuality. I'm glad you have such wonderful memories of your time with him. ((((Hugs))).

    I am sorry for your loss dutchie and wish to give you a hug , anniversaries of a dead loved one are painful. I first read this post last nite, I even responded, but I erased it all. My husband left for work out of state today , and will be gone for only 3 days.
    We have been married for 17 yrs, and have 3 children. Well, I will just say, you made me appreciate my husband more . It makes me want to charish each day even more. I hope you know that your story touched alot of hearts, and what a fine way to memoralize your dear husband that to keep his memory alive.

    Thanks for sharing this with us Dutchie.

    Where ever your husband is now, I'm sure he's so proud of you, your children and all of your accomplishments. He may have left this earth believing that he was going to merely sleep in death, but if it gives you and your children comfort to think otherwise, then do it.

    Love & Hugs, Scully

    Interesting point skully. My mom died 15 yrs ago and she beleived as jw although she was d/f . She commmited suicide , but in my heart I always knew that she would be resurrected. I have only stopped beleiving the JW teaching for about 9 months now, and the thought that she could be in heaven , brings me alot of comfort. I just wished i would have at least entertained the thought back then. I dont know what I personally beleive about life after death, but I have to beleive that either way, heaven or earth ,Jesus said he would give us eternal life and happiness. I wish that happiness for you dutchie , and I have to beleive that somewhere down the road we will reunite with our dead loved ones. I dont mind waiting , if I have to.
    But again interesting to think they may have already received their
    prize. Peace to you all.
