Email of the Day: Missing My Late Husband

Written by Dr. Laura | 9/11/24 8:15 AM

Six years ago, I lost my loving, devoted husband of 51 years. Every time I hear callers complaining to you about their husbands and expecting a lot from them, but not giving back much, I’ve thought of calling you myself. I realize that some women are not blessed with good husbands. But the ones who are should treasure every day they can spend with him. Hug him, sloppy kiss him, tell him how much you love him, appreciate all that he does for you. Never let there be a reason to regret something you didn’t do or say. Life is short, and you don’t know when he’ll be gone.

 

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to have just one more hour with my beloved. And that’s how we lived. I miss his hugs, his kisses, being told how beautiful I am and how good my food is. He always said, “Marriage is not 50-50. It should be 100-100!

 

I hope that, if you read this, it will touch the hearts of women who are listening. Thank you.
