Dear Heaven,
You shined a light into my home
on Saturday March 6 2021 at 2:30 PM
I begged you to go away and give me more time
You granted me 23 hours
On Sunday March 7 you claimed the man I loved for 45 years
It's been 2 years and I still love and miss him
I knew he was sick but you granted past miracles
I was disappointed this time you ignored me
Some widows have begun dating and a few have remarried
Over the weekend I asked a question on a widow's Facebook group
I wanted to know how long other former wives had been grieving
Would you believe 463 women responded that you took their husbands
They had been grieving for from a few weeks to 18 years
Thanks heaven because I have a feeling
If I am here 18 years from now I will still miss my spouse
I won't be grieving hard every day and I am moving on with life
Like those 463 widows, I just won't date or marry
Why oh why heaven did you do this to us
We know our spouses are in a better place
Safe from the cares of this world
But we now have to handle everything alone
Please tell all the husbands they are loved and missed
Sincerely, Cheryl E Preston
