It's not about how much time you spent on each other, It's the love that you share everyday of your lives.

He is sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face because he knows God has been so good to him for having you as the best thing in his life

until the last fight and the last breath that he shared to you so that you'll feel that you are the most special gift that God gave to him.

He is now with our God watching you up there and will not stop to love you.

Sis, kabayan, we, vj members are here to say sorry for your loss and may God give you strength for this.

Condolence. (F)

♥♥God gave you to me. I asked Him why, He said, “Because he can fill your life like no one else can.” ♥♥I love you and I really miss you so much luv!♥♥Hope to be with you soon and have a happy family!♥♥

Thanks for all your comments... Right now I got two jobs to occupy my days... so basically I work everyday, but before I go to work... I still go to the cemetery to talk to him... tell him about what's going on... even if it's snowing... a couple of times I freak out while driving coz I basically learned how to drive here (driving like 1 and half year).. and PA did not have that much snow last year (although we still did not have much snow this year too), but there are days that it snowed and I still went to the cemetery and its the first time that I felt the car swerved... and I was imagining him telling me... "what the heck are you doing driving in this storm"!!! and It made me smile... coz i know my answer would be... "shut up! I'm driving!!!" and afterwards we would laugh about it...

I still even talk to him in the house... and go to sleep wearing his clothes... I still cry... and at some point of the day just let my thoughts run and people at work know that i am remembering...

It's Valentine's day and I put flowers and small balloon on his grave... I know he is watching over me... and his love for me is enough to last me a lifetime...

HarveyAndTheresa, good to hear from you. Remember to try and take some time for yourself as well. Becaureful driving out there! Just remember to drive slower then you normally do and it is not a race. I do not work Monday's and the last 2 Monday's here it snowed so I took Pui to work both of those days and picked her up, otherwise she always drives herself when it is snowing or raining here. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
