Mon amour, it’s hard to find the words to express how much I miss you. You were my soulmate, my partner, and my best friend. From the moment we met, I knew you were the one. We shared so much together—laughter, tears, dreams, and an endless love that I thought would last forever. Losing you has left a hole in my heart that nothing can fill.
I remember our morning routines, the way you’d always make coffee just the way I liked it, and how we’d sit together in silence, just enjoying each other’s company. Those quiet moments were my favorite. You made the ordinary feel extraordinary, simply by being there. I miss those mornings more than anything—the warmth of your presence, the comfort of knowing you were always there.
When you got sick, I was terrified. But you faced it with such grace, never losing your sense of humor, even on the hardest days. You were so strong, stronger than I ever imagined. I admired you for that, for the way you never let fear take away your joy. Even in your last moments, you were still thinking of me, still comforting me, when I should have been the one comforting you.
Now, the house feels so empty without you. I still find traces of you everywhere—your favorite scarf hanging by the door, the books you loved on the shelf, the little notes you’d leave for me just to say “I love you.” It’s those small reminders that make it both easier and harder, knowing that you’re still here in spirit, but not in body.
I carry you with me in everything I do. I try to live in a way that would make you proud, to honor the love we shared. You were my greatest love, and that will never change. No amount of time will ever take away what we had, and I know that one day, we will be together again.
Je t’aime, toujours. I care, deeply, that you were here, and I will hold onto our love forever.
— Pierre, France
