Pat Harris (Wife)
My Love, I watched you as cancer slowly took your life. Every day was grief hidden under a smile and cheer that was there just to crowd out tears. Every day I tried to hide a few more memories away for a future without you. I spent so many hours trying to find a way out of the dire predictions of doctors, ways to keep hope and you alive. Our miracle was denied.
Now you are gone and a solitary bleakness follows me every hour. Today I mulched the roses and thought of all the happy hours we spent in our garden and yard. I tried to sense your presence but you were not there. You are in a place of no sorrow and pain, with perfect peace. I do not wish you back, but, oh, how I hurt. Nothing seems to be important now that you are gone.
My solace is that you promised to be waiting for me on the other side. Till then, my sweet love, I will miss you every minute and dream of that day. I will love you eternally. Forever yours, Patsy
