You will forever be the light of my life. You have brought so much love and devotion to me that I find it hard to breathe at the very thought that I will no longer be able to hear your voice. I love you so so much and will cherish all the wonderful memories we've made along the way. It's hard to let you go but I know I'll be with you soon enough. My heart is eternally yours... Xoxoxo
