What a beautiful and loving tribute to a wonderful and heroic man. His life and his love have encompassed all those he has loved, and helped, and touched, and treasured forever and ever.
ReplyDeleteHis love for you, and your children, and your grandchildren, for his sisters, and his brothers, and all of their families, and all of his friends will never go away from any of you. He loves you, still.
When this huge and unbearable loss, when the loss of this beloved man, becomes too much to even bear, remember that this man would never, ever truly leave you, or leave this burden upon you.
His love is still there and you can feel it and you will know it, and it will never,ever go away. The heart strings of connection still tie and bind you together as one.
You will feel it and bring it into you and use divine strength to get through this..day by day, one single moment at a time. We all love you and surround you and we are all sending our love and our prayers to you, now.
So very sorry for your great loss... :( Love & prayers..
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your great, unimaginable loss. I hope the comfort of all of your friends and the idea of him playing tennis and Irish music with the angels brings you great comfort. Thank you for sharing so much of your journey with us here. Clearly you two have a beautiful love story and it was incredibly touching to read. Sending you lots of love and prayers
