On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, when she went to the hospital to visit her husband, he said to her, “I am so sorry I missed our anniversary.”

She told him he had not missed their anniversary, it was coming up on October 31.

He died on Friday, October 25….

A couple of days later, as she sorted some paperwork, a sheet fell out: you are better than ever.

She got a brochure in the mail featuring Backroads 2025 Women’s Adventures.

She looked at the words on a painted rock: What if… everything you’re going through right now is preparing you for a dream bigger than you can imagine.

She feels him right there with her guiding, coaching, and encouraging. Both of them better than ever.
