I think about this too. I agree that it is worse when you are married to your soul mate. However, I am fortunate in that my hubby has a very safe desk job and only works a half mile from home. He does not have far to communte, and does not take any freeways or main thoroughfares. He comes home every day for lunch, and I can call him at the office any time during the day. SO these things help me not to worry very much. We spend all our time together when he is not working also.

Hi Michelle:

I do have this every now and again about my husband... I met my husband in
England while I was on vacation (a British person, now American on vacation
in England)!! I went there to be with my best friend. I'd been there the
year before to be in her wedding. 5 months after she was married Jeremy (her
husband) was killed in an accident. As I wasn't married at the time and
didn't have any kids I quit my job, gave up my apartment, stored all my
belongings and took off to England for 3 months to be with her. 3 weeks
after I was there I met Steve (now hubbie) at an airforce base my mother met
my step-father at 19 years before. Steve and I married 4 months after we met
and from the moment we met until it was exactly 5 months to the day that Roz
would have been married to Jeremy I was petrified that Steve would die. On
the day that was exactly from the time Roz and Jeremy were married to the
time of his death Steve was going to another base for the day. It was
pouring with rain (usual for England) and I was so scared that he was going
to be killed on that day in an accident that I begged him not to go. I got
physically sick and ended up taking the day off work and spend it with Steve.
I still have those feelings quite a lot, probably because of my experience
with Roz and her husband. I wonder if they ever go away when you are married
to the love of your life.

Zak has asked a few questions about death... usually related to dead birds in
the garden as he doesn't know of a person that's died yet.

How old is he? With my (young) son I would tell him (if he asked something
like this) I'll be around for a long, long time, and he'll be a man before I
die.

And that I will always, always love him, even if I die.

I do get scared if I don't hear from Rob, he travels a lot some
days, he can be out from 9am and not be home 'til 10pm, but I|
don't make a point of letting him know, except to have a cuddle
when he gets home. When we got together, we had a very bad
experience that made him nervous if he didn't know exactly
where I was, and it got quite claustrophobic in a way, though I did
realise that it was out of love.

I'd probably use the Lion King for this, the 'one day all this will be
yours,' and I'll be watching, and here when you need me, type
thing. now the thing I'm waiting for is 'I didn't ask to be born,' to
which I can now answer, 'well, actually, I think you did!!!'

I could never bring myself to promise my child that he would be a man before
I die...you never know. I'm concerned that he would then feel I had lied to
him and betrayed his trust. It may be a little thing...but, I tell them I
don't expect to die soon, that I will probably be old and he will have
children before that happens. But, ultimately, it's not in my hands.

I admit I may be a bit more sensitive to the subject. I held the mother of a
young child as she (the mother) passed away from cancer. I know it can
happen. For that matter, that means my child knows it can happen also (the
child was his best friend).

I really like the additional thoughts of always watching over him, even if he
can't see me! I really believe we are given that opportunity after our death.

FWIW,
Eiraul

Not to criticize your response, but it reminded me of something.

My best friends sister died suddenly of a brain anurism recently. She was
44, got out of bed on a Sunday morning and fell over dead. Her kids were at
thier Dads for the weekend, and my friend had to go tell them that Cindy was
gone. One of the boys screamed out "but she said she would never leave me".
We figure she must have said that during the divorce. It makes me cry all
over again to think of it.
