I read this today, and it sums up how I feel, really well.

 

"A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried,

Neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried,

They say memories are to treasure, to some that may be true,

I never wanted memories, I only wanted you"

    If I can't have you then lets make as many memories as we can, happy not sad. It is better to have loved than lost than to never have loved at all. I will never forget my wonderful husband I have so many beautiful memories and without them life would seem so pointless and my own fight against cancer would feel so futile Thats not to mention the living whom together we will make many more beautiful memories. Thinking of you Julie XXXX
