David, you showed me such deep love, one that seemed reserved for fairy tales. You also let me know the importance of expressing love. Your love came without constraints. Your love was endless, it came simply and naturally, and you expressed it daily.

You believed that people should not wait for valentine’s day to show appreciation to their loved ones. However, this did not stop you from celebrating the day in its true tradition. You got sweet mushy cards, paid the inflated prices for flowers, bought chocolates and/or gifts etc.

It was hard for valentine’s day to feel more special than most days, expression and appreciation of love was something you did regularly. Today, I do not feel a void because it is valentine’s day, there are endless cards from you to smile and cry over. I feel a void because I miss the love of my life.

Love always,

XOXOXO
