A very touching series which makes me value life even more. Life is too short to waste it. These people did more in their life together than many people ever will. It is very hard to let go, but I moved here 3 weeks ago with my son and his family to help me through this terrible experience. Talking to people about your fears and feelings helps some, but the loneliness is hard to accept.
Family is wonderful, but a loving spouse is very hard to replace.
Ten years ago I knew and worked with Mary Hopper on various different projects and civic organizations. We moved to Greensboro and at many times I have wondered what she was doing and how her life was going. While I was interested to read the stories about Mary and Les, I had been unaware of the pain of his illness or the joy of their wedding. I wish them both peace and happiness in what remains in their life together. I will always remember these articles and this side of Mary's life.
