Financially, pragmatically? I know if things for some unforeseen reason abruptly ended I would ‘survive’ still. I’m sure eventually I would find my footing again even though it would be much harder. Could I sustain our present quality of life without him? No, even after I’m well into my career I still wouldn’t ever be able to afford this by myself.

Would I be able to emotionally and psychologically function ever again without him? It would take a very long time, but I’m sure eventually I would heal. I don’t know though. The older I get the more keenly aware of my own mortality I become and his.. The idea of him passing away before me someday breaks my heart.. It took so long to meet him. The idea of my world without his smile ever again is painful in a way that I can’t really describe.
