You were the brightest star in my night sky. You carried my heart on a velvet pillow. You were my handsome man. You taught me how to live without you. You taught me how to love, how to trust. You showed me there were good men who stay.

With every passing year, you step back a bit into the shadows. It hurts, but it doesn’t. It makes me sad, but it doesn’t. Having you, and losing you, have become a part of who I am. As real as my wrinkles and my right arm. You are a part of me. The scars on my heart will mark where you sat in my life. Thank God I can think of you now and smile. Thank God I got to have you.
You would have been 66 today. Instead, you are forever 62. At the top of your game. And…I will always, always love you!

❤️

“I thank my God every time I remember you.”
