MissingMyJon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 My DH was a retail store manager in a small local mall. I was walking in the mall today and I saw the store had closed. The spot where he had spent so many hours is now vacant. And I lost it. Tears streamed down my face. I couldn't believe it had closed. And that I would never see his store again. I haven't gone to that mall much, or been by his store much since he passed. It always hurt to be there. But every once in a while I would walk by, hoping beyond hope I would see a glimpse of him. I knew he wasn't there, but I just missed him so. It'll be two years at the end of the month, and I just needed to walk by and see his store, see a piece of him. And now that has been taken as well. The ironic thing is, I hated that store. It is a small store, and so he ended up there all the time. It took him away from me, from our family. Now, I would give anything to still have it there. Because that is where he always was. A piece of him. I wish I had known. If I didn't have to pick up my kids, I would have curled up on the floor next to the store. Just needed to get that out.

kjs1989 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 It is so brutal when you lose a connection to your loved one. I get that. I am at the helm of D's business now, something I never had any interest in, but it is a connection to him. I hope in a few years I will be ready to sell it because I just can't keep doing it, lucrative as it is. Also lost D's dog to cancer last week, which was soul wrenching. The kids and I felt like Boz carried D's energy within him. And now that is gone. I'm so sorry. Hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
