So Hard To Say Goodbye

We had found each other In the most unusual way Not everyone was happy about it But their opinions didn’t matter You became my whole world And I became yours too We had our share of problems But we always worked them out Our spur of the moment wedding Was the most amazing day We thought we had forever But fate decided to intervene The sicker you got The more we realized We have to make the most Of whatever time we had left You held on as long as you could Keeping your sense of humour intact Holding on to you as you took your last breath Was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do We were robbed of our forever And the sadness never really goes away Our first anniversary was full of sorrow Since you died 6 days before The emptiness is overwhelming And I struggle with it every day You’ve been gone for twice as long As we had even known each other Life is so unfair sometimes 42 was far too young Your suffering is over now But mine remains Being forced to say goodbye sucks But it has taught me how to be strong

This is great writing Lorna, I felt every word, so sorry for your loss. Funny how I just posted a new song called Not ready to say goodbye, a similar feel/vibe maybe you would like it! Take care!

No. Sadly my husband passed away in 2011 at age 42 from cancer.
