My reason has always been you, and will forever be you. God called you home, and though we exist on different planes, we remain eternally united, separated only by the delicate veil of life until God calls me home too.

18 months, 23 days, 57.5M heartbeats without Patty. The world stopped when she left. Time lost all meaning. Love is the only thing that matters and I love her today by loving more deeply. 🤍 #Grief #EternalLove

Second anniversary apart from Patty. Grief lingers, yet love endures, carrying her soul in mine. Missing her teaches me to live and love more today. Sadness will always be there, always, but love guides me. 🤍 #Grief #Bereft

One year without you, my soulmate and love. Your spirit lives in me, guides me, loving, never gone. I still ache, but I also live and love you in all that I do. My soulmates. You taught me to love and your death taught me to live and love more. I love you

Ten months without you, Patty. Your love and light are still with me every day. I carry you in my heart, always. ❤️ #Bereft #Grief #LoveNeverEnds

I had collapsed ear drums. Surgery put a tube in each ear drum, widened my eustatian tubes, and, for one ear, built out the ear drum so it didn't lay on the ear bones.

I feel you with me in my soul. There are many 'I wishes' and 'what ifs'. I can't change the past but have learned from it. My happiness today is how I remember you, miss you, and thank God for you and us. The greatest gift from the greatest tragedy is to live. I love you

Her ashes were planted with an orange tree on Dec 28 at the Morelos house she built. She loved the Earth, trees, and her family. Now, she’s always at home, watching as the grandbabies visit and play. She will always be loved and never be forgotten. 🌳🍊🏡💖🕊️ #Grief #Bereft

10 years ago today, we got married. 29 weeks ago, she died. 6 days from now, she will be buried. Every day, I will remember you. We will embrace again in heaven. I will forever love you We always left off that period since our love was neverending. #Bereft #Grief

As of this moment, it's been 20,378,787 heartbeats since she was taken from me, from us. Each one, also a tear. She is always remembered and missed. She blessed my life in every way and continues to each day. Her death taught me how to love even more deeply and appreciate life.

December 28th will be the tree planting ceremony and mass in Morelos, Mexico. It's been 7 months. It will be good to celebrate and honor Patty with the family. It's been too long. She is too deeply missed. #Grief

28, yesterday, BTW. It was our engagement anniversary, too. The mass and burial will be Dec 28. I need words for the memorial park bench, the plaque, and the ceremony. There are no more words, just tears. I have to find them. I don't want to because they hurt too much. #Grief

You are everything to me. It's just that God took you and I have to do the everything without you. You are with me in spirit and as a golden fire that burns in my soul. I will always carry our love. I was blessed for each moment with you. I miss you. I love you #Grief #Bereft

I so much wanted 1 more minute with you. Now I love and live the 1 more philosophy. 1 more hug, kiss, "I love you." Do the 1 mores as if it will be the last one in your lifetime because it might be. #1more

27 weeks in 8 hours and 45 minutes from now. I still can't comprehend what happened. It's just unreal. Is this some sort of bad dream or did it really happen? Oh Patty, I miss you so. I thank God for you. I love you

Oh my love, I can't go back before your death. I can't change it. I will always now appreciate life so much more. I don't want to lose anyone else without one more smile, hug, or kiss. I will love like it's the last day. Always 1 more while I still can. 1 more. #Grief #Love

Its 26 weeks but I am not counting. Time doesn't mean anything. A single day without you is a lifetime. A lifetime is an eternity. The sadness, the grief, our love are perpetual and never ending. #Grief

It's taken 6 months, but we got the permit and can now take your ashes to Mexico. We are planning everything now. Soon, my love, soon. Family and friends will gather in your loving memory. We all so deeply miss you. Oh my love. #Grief
