A lovely, poetic tribute to a loved one. Delivered with tenderness and insight. Fine work.

While I wouldn't say that all other heroes are through appearing, I would say, for you, your husband was indeed, the last hero. I watched my grandparents grow apart as they aged. Both of my grandmothers welcomed to being free of the burden of their husbands. And, because he was in the hospital so long, four months, after my father left, I'm sure that my mother was relieved.

You must've had a very special relationship.

This is a poem that deserves a second read. Just as any good piece of art is worth at least a second glance. A very nice tribute to you husband! Amen!
