I'm so sorry I wasn't there, on November 24th when you were all alone and probably scared.

I had waited over ten years to once again be your hero, your guardian angel, your best friend. I just can't believe you are gone, I can't believe this is the end!

There's soo much I wanted to say to you, there so much more. I want you to know I've never stopped Loving you! I want you to know you were adored.

You've been on my mind and in my heart each and everyday, in everything I do and It just isn't right or fair that instead of me, it was you.  

Whenever I see a beautiful flower bed, a Labrador puppy or hear a Beatles or Dan Folgelberg song, I think of you and it takes me back to those days and to the music that we used to love to sing along.

I still stop in Pier 1(your favorite store) because the smell of the candles and perfumes reminds me of you even more. You loved to go there to find the perfect little nicknacks for our home. I won't go there anymore because now I'll feel too all alone. 

On cold days I still pull out your recipe for chicken chili, only to find myself  wishing you were there to enjoy it with me. 

I am a better person because of you and all your little subtleties. I know God must have taken you for a reason; either to work in his garden or look after his puppies.

Oh you gave me so much love and happiness in our time together, that my life here will never be the same. As you look down from heaven above you will see, all the lives that for the better you have Changed.

Always know that I will forever love you and miss you, and that you will always be, that someone who was my only one, that someone who was oh so special to me!
