31 Years of Love....

Happy 31st anniversary, my love. 🤍🕊️

Even though you are no longer here on earth to celebrate with me, my heart still overflows with a love that will never fade.

I can feel it all around me.

Thirty-one years… a lifetime of memories, laughter, hard seasons, growth, and a love that was steady through it all. A love that shaped me, strengthened me, and became part of who I am.

Today looks different than I ever imagined.

There are no cards exchanged, no dinner plans, no quiet glances across the room that say everything without a word. And yet… somehow, the love is still just as real.

Just as present.
Just as strong.

I find myself reflecting on all the moments we shared — the simple ones, the ordinary days that didn’t feel extraordinary at the time, but now mean everything.

The way you took care of us.
The way you showed up.
The way you loved me — even in the ways you didn’t always say out loud.

That kind of love doesn’t disappear.

It lives on.

In my heart.
In our boys.
In the life we built together.
In the memories that still bring both tears and smiles.

There’s a deep ache in celebrating this day without you… but there is also a deep gratitude that I was blessed with a love like ours.

Not everyone gets that.

31 years ago, I vowed to spend the rest of my life with you… but you, my love spent the rest of your life with me. 🫶🏻

And I will carry that love with me — always.

I truly believe you are still near… in the quiet moments, in the memories that come out of nowhere, in the peace that settles in when I need it most.

I miss you more than words could ever say.

But I love you just the same — maybe even more.

Forever yours… until we meet again, my love. Loving you on earth as you rest in heaven.

“Love never fails.” — 1 Corinthians 13:8
