So many moments relived the last ten days, and while the memories of you are never gone, they have been a little more distant, and the memories are more sweet than bitter. I know things will be harder, especially for Madi, on her wedding day, and I know you are omnipresent in our lives, despite the time passing. You hover there, like a quiet cloud, in a beautiful space, in our lives from beyond. AND...damn these last few weeks brought so many emotions, doubts, thoughts, and questions right back. I do not write on here much anymore, yet it would feel disrespectful to not. I am so sad that another wonderful man felt so little hope that his answer was the same as yours. I know in my heart that neither of you intended this, yet the reality for those of us that remain, is that it feels that way. The questions. The hurt. The confusion. A bit of anger. The sadness. The memories. They are forever more, in our hearts and our minds. I pray Matthew is at peace; the same peace I have prayed for you for well over a decade. I also pray that no one else joins this club.
You were both so loved, respected, needed. Some things just don't change.
always, no matter what.
Wen
