i wanted to throw things at my TV. I wanted to just see the world self destruct I was that frustrated. Then I looked at my woman of 23 years now and thought thank god something frustrated me more or we wouldn't have lasted past three years.
I yelled, I screamed

Heller....you and I don't always agree, but I'm going to give you (and everyone else on here) some free advice and ask that you take it.....you walk into the room where your wife is, you look her in the eye and you tell her that you are going to take her on her dream vacation and then do it. Kiss her passionately, tell her you love her and mean every word.
More money can always be made; time with someone you love can not.
I'm not asking for sympathy, but yesterday was my wife's birthday...a significant one and I no longer have that opportunity to do what I wish I'd done more. She was a huge Purdue fan and part of the reason I am today, but Purdue basketball is totally insignificant in the real world. Wins and losses are only that in a sporting event; in real life losses hurt much more.
You never know when you'll wake up alone in a bed with no one on the other side.
TD, while it is obvious your loss can never be compensated, I am sure that your (no doubt) lovely, late wife went to her rest knowing that she was loved and cherished.
I do wish you well on this sad anniversary.

For a change, I couldn't agree more with you. It is impossible to fully explain to others just how much my view of life changed, much like yours sounds to have.
I think that we can all agree that sports are fun but its entertainment. You cant get too high or too low. Its great when your team wins and does well but sucks when they lose. As mentioned there are more important things in life like family. I always think its funny when I get real excited or upset about a win or lose and I look at my wife and she could care less. Sometimes I wish I could be more like that. 
I am a '70 grad also. I am a college teacher. I tell every one of my students that my wife saved my life. They all think she pulled me from a burning car, or dove into a lake, pulled me out, and resuscitated me ....no .... she agreed to spend her life with me ... and that saved my live.
