Opal Ruth Prater "Love is Stronger Than Death"

In the article "Love is Stronger Than Death" on the website This I Believe.org by Opal Ruth Prater explains how she gets through her husbands death with a shirt. She also explains how she still loves and misses him dearly. For example, Opal brings up that her husband left a shirt that he wore on a chair in the backyard from doing a lot of yard work and taking care of the kids. This shirt had sunshine outdoorsy scent. After smelling the shirt she started to cry because she missed him too much. She has watched her kid grow up in grown adults and have kids of their own and Opal looks into the sky and congratulates her husband on how wonderful they raised the kids as she continues to hold the shirt in her hands. In my opinion I believe this is true. I believe this is true because the person you care about could die or something bad could happen to them and you could really care for that person. Also somewhere in the world every child or adult loses the person they care about and only has a object or picture or something to remember them by. This reminds me of my uncle Mike. This reminds me of my uncle Mike because he died in 2008 and until this day all I have to remember him by is a picture of him and my grandmother. Also the only quote I remember him saying is as long as I put my mind to something i really care about I can accomplish anything. So this belief is true in the world to me.
