My sweet boy, fifteen years together. And loving you was one of the quiet miracles of my life. These last days were hard. I saw your body grow tired. I saw the effort it took just to stay. And it broke my heart that I could not take the pain from you. If love alone could have healed you, you would have lived forever. You were never alone. Not for one moment. Every breath you took, you were wrapped in my love. Every ache you felt, I felt with you. I stayed. Just like you always stayed with me. Letting you go was the hardest act of love I have ever done. Not because I wanted to, but because I wanted your suffering to end. Because you deserved peace more than I deserved holding on. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for your patience. For your quiet strength. For choosing me as your person all those years ago. The house feels different now. Softer. Sad. But full of you. Rest now. No more pain. No more effort. Just ease. Just love. You were deeply loved. You still are. Always.
