Last 30th December marks one year of my late cousin, KakB's passing. Her husband, Steve wrote one of the most touching post on her facebook wall and I thought of sharing:
Since that moment a year ago I have struggled to live without you in my life every day. Each time I dreamed about you it has been a nightmare. I would say something like, "You're not really here" or "You can't be here" and then I would start to panic because I knew that you were leaving and then the dream would end. I would wake up sweating and scared and sad.
As I fought with my mind and emotions to deal with the pain, I also pushed you away.
A couple of weeks ago you visited my dream again. Instead of panicking I asked you "where are you?" You said to me, "I'm here." And then you smiled and I hugged you. And that was it. The dream ended.
I now realize that you aren't really gone. You are in our house. You're in our children's faces and smiles and laughs and personality. You are in our friends and our family. You're in my memories, my hopes and dreams. And you are and will always be in my heart until death and beyond.
Until we are united again in the next life, I will keep my memories of you close. You will be part of every decision I make and I will try to be the man you chose to be your husband and the father of our children. They will never forget who their Mama is.
Hold Ash close and let him know how much his Daddy looks forward to seeing him again.
Al-Fatihah
