One Year Without You.
It’s hard to put into words what a year
without you has been like. Some days, it
feels like time has stood still, and other
days, it feels like a lifetime since I last
heard you laugh or saw your smile. I still
find myself reaching for you, wishing for
just one more moment together. I miss
the way you’d hold me close and whisper
that everything would be okay, even when
the world felt uncertain. You had a way of
making life feel simpler, better, and full of
hope, even in the hardest of times, but I
know that your love, the life we shared,
will always be a part of me.
The saddest moment is when the person
who gave me the best memories becomes
a memory. Now, all I have are those
memories beautiful, precious,
but still so bittersweet.
It’s not just me who feels the void.
Our families and friends miss you, too.
They miss your kindness, your humor, the
way you made every gathering brighter
just by being there, the way you made
everyone feel special. The space you left
behind is felt by all who had the privilege
of knowing you.
You will always be a part of my heart,
and I will love you, now and forever.
Your Sweetie, Monique.
