My Mom still misses my Dad who's been gone 42yrs. I'm so glad she found those buttons! I'm sure they are a small comfort for her. You're a good friend!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-64269401817339240202018-04-03T15:02:29.861-05:002018-04-03T15:02:29.861-05:00My F-in-Law collected buttons wherever he went.

She should know however that some of those buttons might be valuable. I am not suggesting that she sell them only that she might check to see if they are worth anything.

Thinking about the buttons on a shirt or jacket. That button collection is worthy of mention for sure. I have a few of those from when my children were growing up and even some with the grandchildren. I'm going to have to find a box to keep my collection in. Great idea.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-53449190727263881932018-04-03T07:04:13.767-05:002018-04-03T07:04:13.767-05:00A very interesting story worthy of the newspaper. ...A very interesting story worthy of the newspaper.

When someone spends that long with another and loses their partner, it is a part of the,selves that dies as well. That long chapter has ended and one is left with having to move on but in great pain. People who say that one must move on just don’t want to hear her talk about her loss because it makes them uncomfortable and they don’t know how to deal with it which is sad. She needs a listening ear so I am glad you are there for her. 3 years is not a long time actually so she will miss him...all her life but, in time, the pain will be less severe. She will always miss him and will cry on occasion but she will laugh more at the happy times and will always miss him.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.com
