My heart is broken, I’m sad, confused, shocked and I have so many questions as to how this could have happened! We were just saying we can live another 40-years at least!I was so enjoying this life of cruising, beaching, flying however, sometimes I could look in your face looking as though to say, “I want you to have all the fun and excitement that you can bare, but I’m going sit back and watch!” I would ask you what excites you and you would say, “watching & loving you!”My love for you was more stronger than you could ever imagine! You were the greatest gift that God had given me (with the exception of those 3- beautiful children that I never thought I could conceive)! That proves to me that God is real & I believe Jesus still walks this planet!I would tell our children they had better make sure that the one that God has for them they better recognize them and cling tightly! I’m so grateful that God allowed you to cross my path for I knew you were my soulmate! You are the kindest, loving, honest, caring, decent person I’ve ever met! I know I was like an overbearing mother sometimes, however, you seemed to welcome it every chance you got! I knew you would never confront or battled with anyone (I felt that’s why God sent me to you so that I could do it for you!!I’m going to miss you so much and all the additional years I thought we had left, as the tears streaming down my face! I always tell people, “God doesn’t make any mistakes!” I know everyone and everything comes to pass , however, I WAS NOT READY!!!God said you had come home NOW,!! I love you sooooo much!! I pray God strengthen me soon! I’m too sad but I WILL SEE YOU LATER!
