Andrew,
There isn´t a day that passes without you in my thoughts. Everything I do, every step I take, carries the quiet hope that you would be proud of me. You were more than my partner-you were my soul mate, my safe place, my greatest love.
Losing you left an emptiness that can never truly be filled. I miss your laugh, your wisdom, the way you saw the best in me even when I couldn´t. I miss the little moments most-the ones that seemed ordinary at the time but now feel like treasures.
You taught me what love really means: patience, kindness, and the unshakable belief in someone´s potential. Even though you´re no longer here in person, I feel you with me-in the choices I make, in the courage I find, and in the moments where I choose love over fear.
I live each day with you in my heart. Every accomplishment, every bit of progress, is for you. I will keep striving, keep loving, and keep honoring the life we dreamed of together. You are my forever, Andrew. I miss you more than words can hold, but I will carry you with me, always.
Forever loving you,
Larissa

Still not a moment goes by where this man is not on my mind. I wanna move on but I am burdened bc he is all I wanna talk about he is all I think about. Little over 9 months and it still feels like yesterday. My forever was always him. Rip my love.

You have been my world for the last 5 years. I´ve never been so devastated. My life will never be the same it will never be what I wanted without you. And there´s nothing I can do. I miss andrew so much.

Im never going to see my babe again andrew Gillis meant the world to me. He was my partner. No matter what I wanted to be by his side he was proud of me he loved me. He knew my flaws and weekneses and I knew his. We always made it through all the things we went through in the 5 years together. I´ve never felt anything close to this. He was my person my future. I will never get over this.. I love that man nothing will ever replace him. I miss him ever second. I never stop thinking about him. Andrew forever will have my heart.
