Jason was and still is, the love of my life, my best friend, the father to my son. I am still waiting for him to come home, give me a hug and kiss and us sitting down to dinner. I'm sickened with grief, sad at this outcome, but I know he's at peace and I will never forget the love he gave. He would make me laugh like none other. Our wedding will not take place which is so unfortunate, but I know that he is no longer suffering, that he's pain free, that he is in a much better place then we are. He will always be my hearts desire. Rest in Peace baby, I will see you again someday.
