Another day ushered in with anguish.
Like the relentless ebb and flow of the ocean tide.
Day after day, week after week, month after month, I wrestle with the overwhelming loss of my life companion.
Alone I sit longing to hold his hand and feel the safety and comfort of his strong arms.

Today marks twelve weeks.

He is forever gone and the loss of his love is still more than I can bear.

My broken heart lingers like a gaping wound, torn and tattered, mortally wounded.
Faith and hope are all that I cling to as I trudge through this dark valley.
Wrapped in Godly sorrow, pleading still for comfort and mercy!

Out of shear desperation, I contemplated praying for God to take away my immense love for Dennis. But this prayer I can not lament.
My love for Dennis was/IS a gift.

A gift I will cherish through eternity despite the heart ache it provides me today, tomorrow and however many more days my sentence provides.

I love you Dennis!

To have and to hold
To love and to cherish
For now and FOREVER.....

  1. Tracy I knew you before you met Dennis and I know for a fact that you were not completely happy until he came into your life. God will see you through this.

  2. Thinking of you and praying for peace, love and light for you as you go into what has to be a difficult holiday season. Your love for Dennis is beautiful and it is so clear that love was returned ten-fold.

    Truly, please know that there are people out there wrapping their hearts and prayers around you...every day.
