I occasionally torment myself with thoughts of “I wish I had, I should have done and why didn’t I? That’s when I get out my journal from 2011, the year my husband died. Here are some of the most comforting lines.

He grasped my hand one last time, with his firm, ‘you can trust what I say when I say it handshake’. I sang old hymns to him, changing the words to remind him of Christ and the family he would meet in heaven. I apologized for my singing because we often joked about that. His breathing slowed and finally stopped.
Wisdom is making choices that you will be satisfied with later. I would add this thought. Record your most precious so that you will remember them later.
At the Lord’s command, Moses recorded the stages in their journey. (Numbers 33:2a, MSG)
