I joined a club that no one is jumping to be a part of.  Last month I became a widow.  One day I was a wife, and the next day I woke up and realized I can’t be a wife without a husband.  The word that had defined me for so long, was no longer a part of who I was.  Someone called me his widow today and I burst into tears.  They told me there are discounts for single parents at the local gym and I just walked away.  This is not who I am.  I do not want discounts or sympathy.  I just want him back.  The worst part is that I wanted to pick up the phone and call to tell him about my horrible day and realized that I no longer can. 

Reminder: Don’t let one title define you.  The loss of any title can be devastating, but the loss of the only title would be unbearable.
