HI im, 37f My amazing husband, Alexander 34m, passed away a few weeks ago after a short, unexpected illness. We were only married last year together for 4, but we had so many dreams, so many plans for our future together.
We have two beautiful children, a son and a daughter who was born just November. Alexander was the most incredible father. He never had a dad growing up, and he was determined to give our kids all the love he never had. Seeing him with our daughter, just a few weeks before he got sick, filled me with so much joy. He was so proud.
Then, in early December, everything changed. He got sick, and it just spiraled from there. Watching him suffer those last few months was devastating. He deteriorated so quickly. The only comfort I have is knowing he's not in pain anymore, but the heartbreak is immense.
Our wedding day was the happiest day of my life. I remember him standing at the altar, so handsome, and his vows made me cry. I read them now, and I still cry. He was so loved by everyone. His funeral was packed; people were standing outside because there wasn't enough room inside. It was a testament to the kind of person he was – always smiling, always making people laugh.
It's hard to believe that just a few months ago, we were celebrating the birth of our daughter, and now he's gone. It feels so unfair. I took for granted that he would always be here with me. I'm so grateful for the support I have from family and friends; I don't know how I'd get through this without them.
Rest in peace, Alexander. I miss you more than words can say. You brought so much joy into my life and everyone else's. I love you always.
Please, everyone, remember to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. You never know how much time you have left.
