Danny, it´s been 2 months & 7 days since you left me. Some people think I should be able to move on by now but I just can´t. I feel like a zombie. My body moves, household chores still get done, bills are paid, and meals are cooked but I feel so empty.
I don´t care what anyone says, I´ll never stop missing you and yes I will still cry when it hits me that you aren´t coming back.
Love doesn´t die just because you did. I want to believe that you are with your parents now and when my time comes, you will be waiting for me.

Oh Danny, I miss you so much. We only had 46 years together and it just wasn´t enough. You always promised that you would be with me forever and I know you tried so hard to beat the cancer and all the awful things that went with it. I miss your hugs. You always knew when I was sad or hurting and you would wrap your arms around me and say "it´ll be okay." I need one of those hugs now so very much.
We are supposed to have a hurricane this week. It will be my first without you. You always knew what to do during storms but I am learning.
i will always love you Poo Poo Bear
