I'll never forget you ... Our life style will be left a legacy I promise .. I socava you (sovaca- the word we made up sybolizing a feeling much deeper than love so much so that we gave it a name) I know you walk with me every day. I may not be in your eulogy but its okay me and you dont like being grouped up. Some one told me you still loved me the other day and I laughed because they really dont understand we are two halfs to a whole. We are both so different and much more complex than others, us finding each other AND getting to love alive two absolutely extraordinary children was a gift from life because life knew we deserved that experience and I swear God taking you is the biggest test Hes ever faced me with every day is a challenge. I promise to make you proud and I will take care of Milli and Daim until my last breath .. ill see you at our next destination I love you I dont want to say good bye.....♡_BNH4E_♡
