To the man I loved and cared about for 14 years. My heart is very heavy, and my grieving seems to be endless. Everything reminds me of you. There is a big empty place in my life right now. RIP my Honey, no more pain for you. Hoping you and my Mom are going to guide me from above to help me get through this! Love you Honey!!
