Here's the irony: even if I dearly miss you, it is because of you that I'm not afraid of what the future brings. You give me strength to believe that it is still possible to move forward, that no matter how much the grief, I can still believe that someday it will turn into something beautiful, something that would bring a smile on our faces without the memory of the bitter ache. This is not a goodbye, but a thank you. Thank you for loving me, and for receiving my love in return. Thank you for saving me and bringing joy into my life.  Thank you for the photographs and memories I will cherish forever.  You are the very best part of me and my life is better for it. You might be gone but I will forever have you in my heart. It's your turn now to wait for me. Wait for me, okay? Because there will come a day where it is going to be my turn to come back home to you.

I love you.
