How do I say goodbye?
How do I put into words what you meant to me?
How do I put into words how much you meant to me?
How do we do life without you?

It shouldn’t have been your time yet. We had so many more memories to make.
So many more laughs. So many more jokes. So many more hugs. So many more kisses from the dogs. So many more coffees. So many more chats. So many more projects to hear about. So much more reminiscing with you. Now we reminisce about you.
Someone didn’t get the memo that it wasn’t supposed to be your time.

How do we honour the life you had?
How do we honour the life you gave?
How do we carry our love forward?
How do we ease the pain?

I was lucky enough to know you before we became family.
I was lucky enough to have a mother-in-law I called a friend.
I was lucky enough to live with you and to learn from you.

We shared so much more than a last name and I will forever be grateful for all of it.

Thank you for everything.
