I am nearing 6 years of missing you. This time apart has made me realize more what a special person I was so fortunate to know and love. There is no one in this world who has shared his love the way you did. What a wonderful time we had together. I hope to see you again some day. You use to tell me that you were “going to live forever, and that I would never die”. Until we meet again on the other side, I will rember you forever. Thank you for being so good to me and for genuinely loving me.
