That was a wonderful account Beth and proof positive that these "Martians" are just as sensitive and loving as we are but they definitely express it and process it differently.
Your husband was ideal, for this you both deserve credit, those 34 years
may have had something to do with this, each helps the other grow. Beautiful people, having found each other, that is precious. I always thought I grieved my cats alone, that the 3 men in my family easily put their sadness aside and moved on with little left.
A year later, I convinced them all to let in an old pensionner cat, one who couldn't face the winter otherwise. One day, one son noticed that the old cat was doing the same 'I want a treat' dance that my precious Yukon used to. When he told me about it, I saw his voice break and I realized that somewhere very deep and very hidden inside of him, he had kept on the back burner the deep hurt and deep love, that I never realized that there was a candle still burning inside that manly heart. Men are indeed different, but we should consider that appearances aside, they have the same capacity to love and
therefore to hurt, they only process it differently.
