Dearest Husband
I thank you with all of my heart
For sharing this journey called life
I'll be forever grateful
That I was blessed to be your wife
Grateful to have held your hand
To have loved you throughout the years
Amidst life's joys and challenges
In times of happiness and tears
Blessed to have built a life with you
To have shared so many things
Moments I'll treasure with all my heart
Memories that mean everything to me
I can hardly accept you've been taken away
I can hardly bear the thought
Of facing the future without you here
I'm still not sure how I'll get through the loss
Yet I'm comforted by how much you loved me
And this knowledge is helping me through grief
Always remembering the closeness we shared
That brought us both such happiness and peace
And so…I thank you, Dearest Husband
For all you've meant to my life
I'm so grateful that we found each other
And for the blessing of being your wife
