May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.
Hey poo... We’ve been a lot of places, done a lot things, but the thing I think we did the best was love. Laughing, holding hands, rubbing your feet, you laying in my arms falling asleep and I would rub your face, run my fingers thru your hair inhale and smell the favorite frangrances you would wear for me. Sixteen years ago they told me you had ninety days to live. Look at the love and grace of God towards us. I knew you would leave me on this earthly side one day, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon. We still had plans. You’re my best friend. You would be so proud of our children. They stood up beside me like the soldiers we raised them to be. Our spiritual children has done the same. I miss you already, and catch myself forgetting you’re resting with the Father and I have to laugh because thats what you would want me to do, but I must admit, sometimes I cry... either way it makes me feel a little better day by day. I love you!
