Today is one year. It is funny how you can replay the day one year ago and it just feel like a week ago or so. I guess I will never forget the last day with you. And then the next week - how people handle death and what is said and done. I know we had a good life and we had several plans to continue to travel and spend time together.
I will forever miss you, but I will let you go...

Miss me, but let me go,
Because it is God's Will.
Although the sun has set for me,
I have traveled a beautiful road.

Miss me, that I know,
But not with your head bowed low.
Treasure the loving memories
That we can always hold.

Miss me, but let me go,
Because it is God's Will.
And each must go alone
Regardless young or old.

Miss me, but you should know,
In Heaven as we were told
That we will meet again.
Because it is God's Will.

Although you can't be here with me,
We're truly not apart,
Until the final breath I take,
You'll be living in my heart.

The moment that you died, my heart split in two.
One side filled with memories. The other died with you.
I often lay awake at night, when the world is fast asleep.
And take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks,
Remembering you is easy, I do it every day.
But missing you is heartache, that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain.
Life has gone on without you, But never will be the same.
