Hard to believe he's been gone for 15 years now.
This one just brought tears to my eyes...... My husband has many faults but who am I to point them out because I feel I have way more than he does and he lets me slide soooooooooo I will not mention but only one that he can not help SNORING....heaven forbid...lol at so many of these posts.
