 life
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. When someone you love is ill, everything is so overwhelming at times. My mom was only 57 when she passed away, and my dad was only 60. I have lost both of my parents to cancer, and while they were sick we had long talks about everything. At times it was hard to talk to them and some times it was hard to listen to what they had to say, I will tell you to make every day count. I can remember my dad and mom would always want to talk about new things, about things that would be happening in the future, about what our plans were for the future, and what their dreams were for all of us. Any distraction was welcomed. They did not want to spend their time left feeling sick. They wanted to make as many new memories as they could. I look back on that time with them …………I’m not sure if I can put it into words, except to say that it was wonderful, beautiful, and the most rewarding time of my life.
Maybe that is what your husband is doing when he asks for a new puppy. It is something new, something totally alive, and at the beginning of life. He can think about it growing up and the life it will have with you. He might want to not think about himself for a little while. Puppies are so full of life and give so much love, maybe he needs that now.
My only advise would be "make as many memories as you can". |
