Zac,
You are always in my heart. Every day I think of you and what you would do or say. You are a part of me and forever will be. I miss you but I know that you are enjoying the wonders and beauty of God's heaven. And I know that we will be together again there. I love you.

Son,

It has been a very long year, yet nothing fades. All the moments of my life with you are forever ingrained in time. Rest peaceful and know "For in those days the Elect One shall arise, and he shall choose the righteous and holy from among them; for the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved. And the elect one in those days sit on My throne and his mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel; for the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to him and hath glorified him. Enoch XLIX LI 5 2-3.

Zac,
Our plans were to always be together forever. Move to Iceland, have a small sheep farm and own 6 dogs in a cozy cabin. In the kingdom of heaven I know we will be again. I cannot wait to see you, words can't describe. You were the best boyfriend I have ever had. You'll always remain my soul mate though. The most wonderful teacher and truth giver. You taught me how to live. You taught me to see Adonai Yeera (The Lord our Provider). You taught me how to pray. You showed me how to love unconditionally, to always be kind and above all, truthful.
I will forever have you in my heart and you're the only one who can understand the love we share and the bond we still keep. Thank you for everything, you are the greatest blessing of all. I love you always. . .
'I'll be seeing you'-
Your Quasar, Alexandra.

And as we have worn the likeness from him from the dust, so shall we wear the likeness of him from heaven. Blessed be his name malka d' malka mara maraota.

My beloved son. Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh. Rest peaceful and know that the night now passes away and the day draws near. Let us therefore cast from us the works of darkness; and let us put on the armor of light. On the last trump we will embrace and rejoice, for through Y'ashua, we will overcome the darkness and marvel as children at the feet of the father. Amen.
