Happy Anniversary Laura. Today would have been our 10th year as husband and wife and our 20th year as a couple. I wish I could say that time flys by, but without you I must admit it’s gone painstakingly slow. Perhaps that’s a good thing. Maybe it’s just your way of keeping me close. I’d like to think so. Since you’ve been gone, my life has been... well... anything but boring. Are you not entertained? 😊 Through sickness and in health, you taught me how to fight for the things you love. And while I could never be as brave or as fierce as you, I’ve been trying my best since the day you left. As my mind begins to shift from “what if” to “what’s next” please know that I think about you everyday. I’ll never forget all the love, laughter, and memories we shared. I miss you and wish it had been different. But for now, keep holding our hand as we attempt to navigate these unchartered waters... while difficult beyond belief... we know happiness is out there waiting for us. We will fight for it like you fought for us and also because I know it’s what you would have wanted. Life is not fair... but it is hopeful. I can feel it in my heart and see it in our son’s eyes. It is wildly unpredictable and often littered with pain and despair. But never forget that life is a gift. That you are the author of your own story. Take time to admire all the beauty that surrounds you. For beauty, just like pain, does not last forever. Call a friend and tell them you love them. Plan that trip you’ve always wanted to take. No time is greater than the present. Above all, never stop fighting for the happiness you deserve. #livelifelikelaura #grief #widow #cancersucks
