Our Gift Is The Present.

 

Dear Mrs. Figgins:

I am  62 years young.  My wife of 5 years has made my life so full. 

The only problem I’m dealing with is her past. 

Her first husband, who past away 15 years ago, comes up at the darnest times.  He did this, he did that.   But he’s not here!   I am.   What can I do to stop this craziness? 

At my wits end!

 

Dear Wits End:

The past is history.  The present is the gift.   

Don’t minimize or take away her memories any more than you want yours washed away. 

Remember, she “lived “before you came into her life.   You are her life now. 

Live in the moment.   This moment is what you have.   

Mrs. Figgins
