Love is more than a relationship.

©2009 M. Bennett Hooper

 

If I leave before you I want to be able to say goodbye and in that simple word convey all of the happiness you have given me.
As I join the ancestors and take my place in the universe I can embrace it calmly because you showed and shared the greatest experience of my life
in the form of a true and lasting love.

If I leave before you I want the world to know what a treasure I leave behind an inheritance for my family and friends in the example you have provided of what love really looks like.
Joy for me is the lifetime we have spent together in good times and bad and how we weathered the sunny days, as well as, the storms which for us have been few because we were together.
Eres todo en mi, (you are my everything)

If I leave before you know that you taught me the meaning of true love which is honest, protective, and free.
I shall be bound throughout eternity with our creator and you
and you can always find me in you and upon the winds of time.

If I leave before you , my goodbye means we shall meet again because our destiny is to be together forever because forever is how long I shall love you.
If I leave before you I just want to be able to say goodbye and thank you for just being you the love of my life for more than half a century.

Oh Mikii Mikii! long time no see, welcome back and I hope for a long long time and in good health.
Very emotional write you has dished for us to digest, because that's one thing one, everybody doesn't talk loudly.
A brave thing to do.
Thanks for being here, we missed you terribly.

Georg

This is so touching. Too often we dismiss the possibilities of leaving this earth before our loved ones (guilty as charged). You've made it so eloquent, that even should it happen, you'll always be together.
