when my favorite chair is no longer occupied...
and the sound of my laughter exists only in your memories...
Please, don't let the last day we shared become the story you remember most.
Instead, remember the life we were blessed to live together.
Remember the first time I held your hand...
the day we promised to love each other through every season of life...
the nights we stayed awake talking about our dreams...
the mornings we greeted with grateful hearts...
and the countless ordinary days that became the greatest treasures of our lives.
One day, those little moments will be worth more than anything we ever owned.
I know there will be mornings when you'll instinctively reach for my hand...
Only to remember that I'm no longer there.
There will be days when you'll want to tell me something...
Then fall silent, because my voice can no longer answer.
And there will be nights when one beautiful memory makes you smile...
Before the next one quietly brings tears to your eyes.
But if that happens...
Don't cry because our story ended.
Cry only because we were blessed enough to live a love so beautiful that its memories will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Because even if death separates our hands...
It will never separate the love that filled every chapter of our life together.
And when your own journey is finally over...
I pray the first thing you see is me...
Waiting with the same smile that once made you feel at home.
