Love letters from my heart
After the love of my life passed away on May 31, 2025, I began writing to Ken every day as a way to ease my pain and grief through words. You will journey into my thoughts, my struggles and ways I've learned to cope with loss and this daily connection with Ken. It did bring me moments of peace. These weekly writings begin on June 1st, 2025 and will be added periodically.

November 22, 2025
Good morning Ken .... Today it has been 174 days that I had to let go of your hand. What a beautiful life I had because of you. Today I am honoring us. I had the honor of loving you, of knowing your quiet strength, your laughter that came like sunlight after a storm. I had the honor of being in your safe place, your calm when it was loud, you were the reason I could pause to breathe and to believe in the gentle things and overcome my fears. I had the greatest honor of you loving me unconditionally every day until your very last breath. you loved me not for what I gave or did for you but simply for being your heart's home. That kind of love never ends, it lingers in every breath, in the rush of my tears today and into the forever. I had the honor of loving you, and I still carry that honor deep in my heart and soul. My heart will always, always belong to you which I told you so many times. Loving you was always so easy and today I miss you in every way. I will love you and miss you until my very last breath and I am back in your loving arms. xxxxoooo

Good morning Hon. Today it has been an unbelievable 6 months wince I had to let go of your hand. Today I am remembering your love. I know our love was always so very special especially when I see all the beautiful words you gave me throughout our marriage ... for anniversaries, birthdays and on those days you wanted me to feel loved and special. I am looking at the special words you gave me not too long ago ....
"To my dear Gail, remember when we were first together and we would talk and kiss and do whatever we wanted for as long as we wanted? I wish it could always be that way, but so often it seems there just aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish everything we have to do and still squeeze in some special time for us. So on our anniversary remember that no matter how complicated or crazy our days may get Gail, one simple timeless truth is forever in my heart, I adore you, and I love you today, tomorrow and always. Love Ken xxxooo"
It brings me to t3ears Ken to know that you are no longer here to give me your special words when I am in need but I will cherish the ones you gave me, like this one, until I am back in your loving arms. I love you and miss you every nanosecond of every day Ken. xxxxoooo
Soft thoughts, strong love
May 18, 2026
Ken, even our strongest love story could not stop one of us having to say goodbye.
We spent a lifetime learning each other's habits and memorizing the little things no one else noticed. The sound of our footsteps, the way we always reached for each other, reaching for our hand without even thinking, our quiet moments of comfort being together. The years slipped by so and we became each other in every way possible.
That is why losing you feels impossible to carry, because after loving each other so deeply for 63 beautiful years, how does my heart, my being, can ever learn to live in a world without you.
