Things To Do Together With The One You Love

This list is the sort of thing you would want to have before your partner dies.

I, thankfully, had made this list while Rob was still living. Mind you, we did only three or four of the things on the list -- but I wrote it with him in mind. And then when I found it tucked in an old journal after his death, it was a secret little gift of a memory.

So, thank you to whoever helped me find my old list.

And here's a copy for you. Maybe you have one tucked somewhere, too. Or maybe you can make a list of the things that you did do together, or maybe you can make a list of the things you wished you had done together. That would be a healing gift to yourself right now.

Blessings and Peace to you, Reader.

And now here is my list:

Things To Do (or Wish You'd Done, or You Had Done) With The One You Love
