My husband did not leave the Southern Baptist faith but I left him — after 28 years if marriage. He died of a blood clot following hip replacement surgery before we were divorced. I don’t practice any religion. Oddly, my current husband and I met in a church neither of us attended and we are not religious!

I discovered you this past weekend and have been reading through your wonderful posts. I enjoy your written voice — it’s as though we are had a conversation.
