It's been a year today since my sweet Patti passed. [View all]

Is it supposed to get any better? I still feel sadness. We spent 18 years together and I still miss her so much. Our house is full of her. I haven’t given her clothes away yet. I miss sleeping and waking up with her… I miss seeing her and talking to her. I miss her comforting touch…

Fuck cancer!
