The moment in February that you left
us — our hearts split in two; one side filled
with memories, the other side died with
you. Remembering you will be easy, we
will do it every day, but missing you is a
heartache that will never go away. We hold
you close within our hearts and there you
will remain, while life goes on without you,
it will never be the same. RIP.
