"Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally. We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore," confessed Liam Neeson.
Liam Neeson's late wife, actress Natasha Richardson, passed away in 2009 after she took a nasty fall on a ski slope at the Mont-Tremblant resort in Quebec. Neeson buried his wife a mile and a half from his home in upstate New York, and he has admitted to going there to speak to her as if she is still alive. According to the "Schindler's List" star, she does not exactly make for a great conversationalist as she never answers him, but he still does it anyway.
He keeps his wife's memory alive by holding on to what she taught him, including how to love unconditionally. This was especially useful in raising their two boys, Micheál and Daniel, one of whom inherited their acting genes.
The actor enjoys being a father even though he says it is a "joyful worry." At the time of their mom's demise, Micheál and Daniel were only teenagers; however, they have matured gracefully while making her proud of them.
Neeson has not remarried and remains faithful to her. Richardson still lives on in her boys' and husband's hearts, and nothing can break that bond.
