My Darling Joey,

Every second of everyday you are in my thoughts. The memories come and I laugh and cry. I want to thank you for giving me the six, would have been seven years on the 20th of this month that we met again in 2001, of the most wonderful loving years of my life.

You my love, taught me what a real marriage is. You taught me how to laugh, sometimes till tears rolled down my face. Everyday! Turning bad situations into very funny ones.

You taught me to let go of my anger. You touched every part of my being, forever in my heart you shall be.

I want to thank you for writing me beautiful poems, notebooks fulll of them, buying me pretty things, surpising me all the time, showing me what a real husband is and how he should act. You treated me with gentleness, unselfishness, gratitude, a very special enduring love, politeness and so much more. Saying "thank you," doesn't really say enough.

I greive constantly inside. I always told you that you were my hero. Well, you still are. Joey I know the things you've battled in life. Bad things! But, somehow, you made it through it all. Somehow you persevered. Somehow you cheated death to give me those six beautiful years.

There will never be another! Never! You are the only one for me. We are one and you are in my heart where I will keep you safe until I see you again.

I love you with all my heart and soul, always!

Your loving, grateful Wifey,

Juanita

Juanita,
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

I'm so sorry!
