Chris what a beautiful tribute to a very handsome man. I'm so sorry you lost all of those years with him, especially since your life together was cut short.

A very good friend of mine went through something similar. Her family ended her relationship with the man she loved when she was in her early 20's as he was *from the wrong side of the tracks.* They both found other people and moved on with their lives. About five years ago they once again found each other after 30 years. She was a divorcee and he was a widower. They married after a brief courtship but Joe developed colon/liver/kidney cancer after only two years with her and died.Life can be so cruel can't it?

Thank you, Chris, for allowing us this glimpse into your life. I know that the child you bore is a great blessing to you. It is a little bit of Fred left behind for you and now of course the blessings go on as you are a grandmom too. ((((hugs))))
