Dear Eddie, My Soulmate,
I love you so much. More than I know how to express in words.
Knowing that I’ll no longer be able to see you and hold your hand every day is really hard to accept. My heart feels like it’s being torn into a million pieces. Life is going to be so hard without you by my side.
But, I need you to know that I will be ok.
I know I will be ok because you have given me a lifetime’s worth of happiness and love. I have so much in reserve that no matter how angry or sad I may feel, I know that love conquers all. This is what you taught me.
I know I will be ok because I know you will always protect me. With you forever in my heart and my mind, I know that I will find the strength to get through whatever life throws at me.
I know I will be ok, because you have connected me to a world of amazing people, Ummah, Appah, your aunts and cousins, and your friends. They each hold a piece of you that can never be taken away. I know that when I miss you so much that life starts to feel unbearable, I can ask them to share their piece with me and I will find the strength to go on.
Remember how I told you that I will love anyone who helped make you the man that you are? I promise to stay true to this. Know that everyone will be ok. Your parents. Your family. Your friends. Whenever they miss you so much that life starts to feel unbearable, I will be there for them, sharing my piece of you. I promise.
I know that your dream is to give me the best life. You have already given me that. Because of you, I have the best life, and because of you, I will settle for nothing less. You are the greatest man I know. I am grateful everyday that we found each other.
You have been through so much. So, so much. You deserve now to be filled with nothing but peace and love. If you could do one last thing for me, I ask that you embrace this peace and love.
You’ll always know where to find me, because you are in my heart and I am in yours. This, I think, is what it means to be soul mates.
Hwaiting, Eddie.
I love you, Eddie. I love you so, so much.
Forever and Always, Your Soulmate,
Anna
