Rich,
In all honesty, there are NO words I can ever write that could possibly express, or even begin to explain, the depth of our love for each other. You said it best when you told me “I was finally ‘home’ the moment I met you”. With you, anything was possible because “there’s nothing we couldn't do if we did it together”.
I never knew how incomplete I was until you came into my life. I have never been loved so genuinely and so completely in my life, and I doubt I ever will be again. I will forever be in awe of how you loved me…there was no aspect of me you didn’t know intimately, no detail you weren't aware of, and you loved every last bit of me without exception. You loved me for EXACTLY who I am, with all your heart, and that absolutely awe inspiring feeling will never leave me.
You may not have been perfect, BUT YOU WERE PERFECT FOR ME. We completed each other so seamlessly that I couldn’t tell where one of us ended and the other began anymore….and I never imagined I’d ever have to remember.
How could I have known you were a gift I couldn’t keep? And even if I did know, it wouldn’t have changed a thing. I only knew one way to love you, and that was absolutely, unconditionally and completely, without exception, every single moment.
Our life together was supposed to be forever. I could never imagine growing old until I had you. Suddenly the idea of still sitting with you when were 80 wasn’t only possible, it wasn’t long enough! An eternity would never have been enough. Now I will forever long for the life we had planned. I wish you'd gotten the chance to “change my name”…I would’ve loved to sign it even once. So many magical details, hopes and dreams have all slipped through our fingers in an instant.
You were the first person who ever looked me in the eye and told me, with absolute conviction, “I’ve got you“. And you did. You “had me” every single moment, of every single day. I never worried about a thing if you were with me, because I knew the thought of anything ever happening to me on your watch was simply not acceptable to you. You told me you “could finally rest, and not sleep with one eye open, because you knew I would always protect you and fight for you.”…it was my honor and my privilege, and I wanted nothing more than to do it forever.
I love you beyond expression…my rock, my protector, my teacher, my best friend, my savior, my home, my partner in crime, my smile, my love, my life. A part of me has gone with you and I will never be the same again.
I know you’ve still “got me”, but I will miss you every day I open my eyes in a world without you.
You are the love of my life.
ALL MY LOVE, FOREVER,
LeeAnn
