From your loving husband:
These are a few words for my dearly departed, love of my life. My memories of you are good ones, where you liked to joke around and when we’d speak what the other was thinking. We had our share of spats, but always forgave each other because we both knew neither of us is perfect. You, however, were the perfect partner for me. We taught each other many things. We loved, lived and laughed often. Even when you were at your worst with your ailments, you still found a way to laugh and joke. I miss your smile and your bright eyes that would stare back at me constantly. I miss waving to each other while watching a movie, even though we were in the same room. I miss blowing air kisses at each other, even while walking past you. Your kindness was unmatched and you had a great love for your daughter, your granddaughter, as well as your pets. I hope wherever you are now, that you feel no pain, no angst, and can eat whatever you want and never have to worry about what it is. That’s how life should have been for you here, but even with everything stacked against you, you still managed to put on a smile and laugh and love like there was nothing bothering you. I’ll see you later, babe.
