First Wife

As I am aware that my life span is shorter than that of an average person, I think about how the lives of my family and close friends will play out after I'm gone. For example, I wonder how my parents' retirement will be like, how many kids my brother will have, and, of course, if my husband will remarry. I came across this article that really hit home.

I just don't want my husband to forget me, but I want him to be happy even if it means remarrying. As the first wife, I hope the second will be someone like the author. For now, I'll just keep on creating new memories with him.
