And sometimes even that's not enough.

Never forget what's really important.

Never forget what really matters.

WAy cool Eric! Girl on bottom photo caught herself in her "selfie" without the target fellow knowing. She appreciated what that was all about. I knew this younger generation got it!

P.S. My favorite fast food joint: I&OB!!!!!

Reminds me of my Grandpa, they always sat in the same chair for 60 + years. When Grandma died he started to sit in her chair so he didn't have a to look at it.

Sure there is a sad component to this, but I see a more hopeful angle to this. This guy is getting out and about (vs. being a recluse) and he still has his memories and still &quot;takes&quot; his best girl out for a date. I think this has to be therapeutic for him.

I think that is very sad; sure there can be a positive spin to it but, being a softy, I just feel so bad for their loss.

My wife looked at the pics and she took a positive view.The old gentlemen are getting out and maybe getting on with their lives but are not forgetting their dear departed wifes or the great times that the two had together.

<span style="color: #990000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Wow, just saw this thread and can relate. We lost my mom last year in July. Now when we go to take Dad for a ride, he'll sometimes ask if we can take Mom (her picture) with us, because he promised her he would take her for a ride (or to dinner). He has Alzheimer's and I think this helps him a lot. It's heartwarming to see other men doing the same. </span></span>
