Drew, may God give you strength to endure your loss. My wife passed in 1989, and it still hurts; just not as much as in the beginning. Hang in there buddy.
thanks everyone. We'll get her buried on Saturday, and her favorite manatee toy will be gripped tightly into eternity, just as he was every night. Howard the manatee has all my love inside him, so he'll be a good companion for her.
